Tucker Carlson: Jews Should be Forced to Undergo DNA Testing to Prove If They're Really Jews

Tucker Carlson continues pimping for his paymasters in Qatar.

First up, he continues peddling his lie that the Christian population of Israel is shrinking, which proves Jews mistreat Christians. When Huckabee points out the Christian population has in fact multiplied sixfold since the founding of Israel, Tucker Carlson says the numbers don't matter and his General Point is still valid.

During Tucker Carlson's disturbingly dishonest, ultra-combative interview with U.S. Ambassador Mike Huckabee, Carlson replayed his biggest tropes: America's "toxic relationship with Israel." Israeli leaders were in league with Jeffrey Epstein and had visited Epstein Island. (After Huckabee suggested a defamation lawsuit, Carlson immediately backtracked and uploaded an apology video.) Israel was "purging Christians from the Holy Land," with those dastardly Jews scheming "to keep Americans from noticing." (No apology for that one.)


And Carlson, of course, included his standard Qatari bootlicking, culminating with this fascinating exchange:


Huckabee: Tucker, Christianity is growing in Israel.

Carlson: Okay, but --

Huckabee: There is a big lie that goes out there --

[crosstalk]

Huckabee: No, let me finish this: I keep hearing Christians are really not treated well in Israel. That's simply... that's a lie.

[crosstalk]

Huckabee: There were 34,000 Christians in Israel in 1948. There are 184,000 Christians today.

Carlson: And by Israel, what are you counting?

Huckabee: The land.

Carlson: Are you counting Israel proper? Are you counting the West Bank and Gaza? I mean, when you say Israel, those numbers apply to what land mass?

Huckabee: It would be in Israel proper.

Carlson: Okay.

Tucker Carlson then changes the terms of the debate, and says he wasn't really arguing about how many Christians were or were not in Israel (even though that is what he was arguing, and has been claiming now for years.)

The important thing is that their are more Christians in Qatar.

And to get to that number, Tucker Carlson counts... Christians literally enslaved in Qatar.

Because they're being treated better, in slavery, by Qatar then free Christians are by Israel.


Huckabee: There are 184,000. Now, I'll tell you where Christians are not doing very well: They're not doing very well in Muslim-controlled countries. There's almost no Christians in Qatar, for example, except those who live in the Christian ghetto, who are the service workers.

Carlson: I'm sorry, I don't want to argue with you, but there are many more Christians in Qatar than there are in Israel.

After more back-and-forth bickering:


Carlson: There are about twice as many Christians [in Qatar as in Israel]

Huckabee: They live in an enclave. They are not native Qataris.

Carlson: Okay, we're mixing so many categories. I'm just saying, I get things wrong all the time. You've just gotten something wrong and I think it's important to acknowledge it: There are many more Christians in Qatar than Israel. Fact.

Huckabee: How many?

Carlson: Now you got me, I don't know, I can [look at] my phone, but I was just there and there were many more -- look, whatever.

See the post for the video. Among the people who push the lie that Christians are fleeing Israel -- Tucker Carlson. He has claimed it multiple times.



...Christians living in Qatar make up 13.1% of the Qatari population. Most of them are migrant workers from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or the Philippines. [emphasis added]

They don't vote. Human rights abuses are rampant.

Many live as slaves.

See the post for more about that.

Tucker Carlson thinks it's better for a Christian to be a non-voting slave in Qatar than a voting citizen in Israel. Because he's a nasty antisemite who doesn't read anything but Unz and Stormfront and has a brain addled from years of hardcore alcoholism.

By the way, he also lied about what he said when he said that Israel's president (not the PM, Netyanhu) had visited "Pedo Island." Now he says he's sorry if he implied that.

His defamation was based on some internet rando peddling an AI fake of the president at pedo island.

And he didn't "imply" Israel's president had gone to Pedo Island. He flat-out stated it as a fact:


But this is now Tucker's SOP: Make a wild claim, then claim later, for defamation law purposes, that he doesn't know if the thing he said is true or not.

Little advice for Tucker Carlson, from someone who dealt with defamation far more than I'd've liked: You cannot "cure" you previous defamations by occasionally contradicting yourself by saying "I don't know if this thing I keep claiming is a fact is actually a fact or not." Your defamation stands. Even if you later correct it forthrightly, the defamation stands.

Tucker literally does this all the time. He makes a completely batshit defamatory false claim, but then later "walks it back" by saying he doesn't know if his prior defamations are true or not.

I really think he needs to talk to a lawyer about defamation. He may actually be making the eventual lawsuits against him harder to defend, because he keeps admitting that he doesn't know if his false claims are true or not -- proving "actual malice," as the law requires when defaming a politician or "public person."

Carlson also wants to force every Israeli to take a genetic test to prove that they have the right to live in Israel.

Otherwise, he argues, they have no claim to Israel's land and it should be given back to its rightful Palestinian inhabitants.

Mike Huckabee, in defending Israel from Tucker Carlson's Hamas propaganda that Israel deliberately targets civilians, says that Israel warns citizens ahead of time which sites will be bombed, but Hamas then forces people into the sites to be killed for propaganda value.

He says, of the prior warnings, "Not even the US does this."

The bad faith Agent of Hamas immediately wants to know why he hates America to make such a slur against it.

He wasn't attacking America, you vicious Hamas Nazi. He was saying that Israel goes above and beyond in attempting to avoid civilian deaths, warning people in advance, which not even America does. In other words, America is the gold standard in this regard, but Israel goes them one better.

You fat drunk brain-damaged Nazi cunt.

42 So I've seen the Islamists pushing this Khazar thing for a while.

Here is the history...in the middle ages there was a powerful tribe in the southern European-Asian steppes called the Khazars. They originally had animist beliefs like the other tribes in the area. As the Khazars got stronger they begin to run into the two superpowers of the day - the Christian Byzantines and the Muslim Caliphate.

At some point their leadership adopted Judaism though we don't don't if it was popular among the populace or if it was all just sort of a play to adopt a religion that their neighbors would kind of respect without having to follow the religious authorities in those neighbors.

Eventually pressure from the Caliphate and the Rus collapsed them and their civilization disappeared. Islamists like to claim most modern Jews descend from these Khazars because they don't have an ethnic claim to Israel but both DNA testing, and written history show most if not all of the modern Jewish population come from Israel.

Oh and the most amusing part of this? The Muslim claim to the Holy Land is they conquered it. So...they have NO connection to the people living there at the dawn of history.

85 I thought it was because Moh had a dream where he flew to the 'farthest Mosque'... and they later decided it was Jerusalem?

The story is Mohammed flew on a magic horse to the farthest mosque. While it is not clear that this was originally identified as Jerusalem, the Caliphate started making the claim after taking the city.

Note: There are no Jewish/Byzantine records of a man on a flying horse coming to town. And we do have some documentation from the Byzantines on early Islam where they assume it is some Jewish heresy but again, no notes of it coming to Jerusalem before the war started...

Hell Freezes Over: NYT Admits That Trans "Science" Was Heavily Politicized and Distorted by Prejudice

None of this is new to you, but it might be new to 80% of the New York Times' mentally-ill Wine Mom cult members.


American advocates for youth gender medicine have insisted for years that overwhelming evidence favors providing gender dysphoric youth with puberty blockers, hormones and, in the case of biological females, surgery to remove their breasts.

It didn't matter that the number of kids showing up at gender clinics had soared and were more likely to have complex mental health conditions than those who had come to clinics in years earlier, complicating diagnosis. Advocates and health care organizations just dug in. As a billboard truck used by the L.G.B.T.Q. advocacy group GLAAD proclaimed in 2023, "The science is settled." The Human Rights Campaign says on its website that "the safety and efficacy of gender-affirming care for transgender and nonbinary youth and adults is clear." Elsewhere, these and other groups, like the American Civil Liberties Union, referred to these treatments as "medically necessary," "lifesaving" and "evidence-based."

The reason these advocates were able to make such strong statements is that for years, the most important professional medical and mental health organizations in the country had been singing a similar tune: "The science" was supposedly codified in documents published by these organizations. As GLAAD puts it on its website, "Every major medical association supports health care for transgender people and youth as safe and lifesaving."

But something confounding has happened in the last few weeks: Cracks have appeared in the supposed wall of consensus.

Jesse Signal recounts the major blows to the fake "consensus" over the past few weeks: A major malpractice lawsuit against a "gender" doctor for failing to properly inform the patient about the consequences of "transitioning" resulted in a $4 million verdict, and both the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the corrupt and always-wrong AMA both reversing past diktats and advising that all gender surgeries for children be halted.


The science doesn't seem so settled after all, and it's important to understand what happened here. The approach of left-of-center Americans and our institutions -- to assume that when a scientific organization releases a "policy statement" on a hot-button issue, that the policy statement must be accurate -- is a deeply naive understanding of science, human nature and politics, and how they intersect.

At a time when more and more Americans are turning away from expert authority in favor of YouTube quacks and their ilk -- and when our own government is pushing scientifically baseless policies on childhood vaccination and climate change -- it's vital that the organizations that represent mainstream science be open, honest and transparent about politically charged issues. If they aren't, there's simply no good reason to trust them.

...

In 2020, Republican-led states began pushing in earnest to tightly restrict or ban youth gender medicine. In response, the professional organizations -- including the A.M.A., the A.A.P. and the American Psychological Association -- wrote a flurry of letters to legislators, amicus briefs and sciencey-sounding documents opposing the bans. These documents routinely exaggerated the evidence base for the treatments in question. There was more talk of consensus: "Every major medical association in the United States recognizes the medical necessity of transition-related care for improving the physical and mental health of transgender people," explained the A.M.A. in a letter from 2021.

...

I've been covering this controversy for about a decade from a left-of-center perspective, and I've found that anyone who questions these treatments, even mildly, is invariably accused of bigotry. It would be shocking if the professional organizations chiming in on these issues -- which, like all such organizations, exist in part to increase the esteem of their members and to enhance their own influence -- were immune from such influences. And now that the political winds have shifted radically, with the Trump administration launching an all-out assault on both the practice of and research into youth gender medicine, it seems some of them are realizing they would benefit from appearing a bit more moderate.


This guy is a left-winger writing for the New York Times so of course he has to call Trump's efforts to limit a surgical procedure he himself admits is evil and without evidence for its medical efficacy is an "all-out assault" on The Gayzzz.

He "Both Sides" it and says both the AMA and AAPS have gone from bowing to political pressure from the left and trans cult to bowing to political pressure from Orange Man Bad.

I mean, sure, but as this stupid lefty admits, Trump and the Republicans are actually right. The parts of the article I omitted are about all the real studies that have shown that "transitioning" does not in fact improve mental health and that there is zero evidence for its medical necessity or efficacy.

I mean, does that even matter? No, but his Cult requires him to always temper every anti-cult sentiment with a pro-cult declaration that Orange Man, Being Orange, Is Bad.


...


Along those same lines, how did the American Medical Association go from arguing that "forgoing gender-affirming care can have tragic consequences" for "pediatric patients" in its 2021 letter to its present stance that one such treatment, surgery, should be delayed -- potentially for many years -- as a general matter of course?
If, as I suspect, political forces are the culprit, that would lead to an inescapable conclusion: You cannot automatically trust what these organizations say at a given moment. Not unless they provide a lot more information about their decision-making processes.

Should we "trust the science"? Sure, in theory -- but only when the science in question has earned our trust through transparency and rigor.


Meanwhile: Any of you bigots who say that the trans cult is propagandizing its members to murder children in the name of their made-up "rights" is just a bigot making WITHOUT EVIDENCE claims.

71 Tell a woman she's beautiful 100 times and she won't believe you. Tell a woman she's fat once and she will remember it for the rest of her life, because elephants never forget.

Show a young woman an under attractive obese woman and ask her "is this woman good looking?" you'll get a yes. Then tell her you see the resemblance between the two and she'll hate you forever.

75 50 Like that is some kind of gotcha. Yeah he was just a regular homo pedo. I can be disgusted by all kinds of queers!

Male homosexuals molest kids at a much higher rate then straight men, but homosexuals are a much smaller population then straight men.

With trannies this is even more extreme - whereas male homosexuals are a percent or two, trannies are a tiny fraction of a percent, but a much higher percentage of them are pedos then even the male homosexual percentage...

To be fair, in the one I went to last year, they didn't want to admit over 90% of molesters are male. I brought it up b/c they were treating men and women as equally likely. I couldn't understand that one, myself, unless they didn't want to go further into "what type of male"...

538: Fox News Poll: Americans Prefer Democrats On Transgender Issues +22 Points. Virtually every subgroup surveyed—from mothers to Black voters to even rural white voters—expressed greater confidence in the Democratic Party’s handling of transgender issues in the latest poll.

I posted this in a earlier thread that wonderd why trans rights is more popular now then for one year ago.

”2024:Why are the Democrats wasting time on trans women and not fixing the econemy?

2025:Why are the Republicans wasting time on trans women and not fixing the econemy?”

Republicans better be worried.

You won't hear it from the punditocracy but this has actually been a fairly consistent finding, including last year while pundits were demanding Democrats throw trans people under the bus to have any hope of winning an election again. They refused to grapple with 2024 being decided by inflation and the border and that’s it.

The way to win the culture war is to attack. Anyone caught defending themselves is fucking up.dems let a notorious epstein associate paint them as groomers because he's all offense and they spend all their time on defense.

151 Having frown up in a coal mining area, the support for increasing the use of coal is puzzling. Strip mining is what I have seen the most and every aspect of a strip mining operation is ugly. The pit itself typically turns pasture and crop land into a horrifying eyesore, and the trucks hauling away the coal are overloaded, their tires wobbling, tearing up the pavement. After the mine is played out, a desultory effort is made to "reclaim" the mined land and it certainly is arresting with its vistas of crown vetch in every direction. No trees of course, and nothing can be constructed on the site for decades. And then there is mountaintop removal, which I imagine only happens when the mining company owning the rights tries to hold the mountain for ransom -- "if you don't buy my rights, I'll rip the top off this mountain" -- but the state doesn't want to play. I like President Trump, but coal's disappearance is largely unlamented.

One year a few decades more NJ decided to tax semi truck sales and I believe aircraft. They lost 100 percent of income because the entire 'industry' just drove the trucks to a new lot and flew the planes to a new airport for the sale. When they undid it, the business didn't return.

That's in part because (i) most people don't really care ("lucky kid") and (ii) the "kids" involved are usually post-pubescent 14-16 year olds, which people care even less about.

Molestation of underage girls by adult men are probably also underreported, but not nearly as much.

Howdy,

Sprinter Press@SprinterPress . yesterday
High-resolution Chinese satellite imagery shows that all US Navy littoral combat ships have left Bahrain port, and a Burke-class destroyer has also been seen leaving.

－The reason for leaving the Bahrain naval base is that they want to move to the southern Sea of ​​Oman and northern Indian Ocean, where they are out of range of Iranian anti-ship cruise missile shore-launched systems... Also, Iranian tactical ballistic missiles cannot target the base, or if they do, the ship is not there.

My favorite cult story is the guy that founded Wicca.

He claimed he was told about it by someone that was part of a lineage going back to the druids.

So what was the core of their religious ceremonies? Well, getting women to get naked and go out into the fields with you at night.

It is wrong. But people don't judge as harshly if the kid is male and within a year or two of adulthood.

And being able to walk down and sign up for the Marines at 18 without a parent IS adulthood to most people. So a 17 yr old isn't so far of a stretch.

=====

Roy Cooper was a bad governor who was saved by the fact he had a supermajority GOP legislature.

He shit the bed during Helene because he was on his way out the door.

But he's "popular," so he represents a threat. Odd what having a GOP legislature to run roughshod over him will do.

Anyway, senate races drive up turnout in the states that have them in midterms to presidential levels, bringing them closer in line to overall PVI. NC's partisan index is net majority GOP (100,000 active, 10,000 overall).

It's not a given, but Cooper is probably the underdog in the race. His percentages in polling (45-48%) probably reflect his ceiling.

281 If parents started protecting their children and taking care of pedophiles, a lot of good things would happen.

Kids deserve to feel protected. When parents find out another adult has violated them, and the parents do nothing about it, the kid has yet another mental hurdle.

Why did my dad not protect me? Why did my mom not do anything? Do they think it’s ok? Am I not worth it?

What the guys want doesn't matter. The adults are responsible. age laws usually don't affect another teen having sex with someone about their age. As a teen myself everyone knew the rules about what "jail bait" was.

321 According to the latest Fox News poll
Posted by: Intercepted Reddit Transmissions
========
Foxnews polling has consistently been the worst of all the major media polling and that takes work to get that bad. If you must go to polling, try Pew or some other that releases complete background information.

"Fox News polling is conducted by Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), with Dana Blanton serving as the head of the Fox News Polling unit and overseeing the Fox News Voter Analysis election survey. The polls typically involve interviews with a national sample of registered voters, using landlines, cellphones, and online surveys, and are weighted to reflect the U.S. registered voter population by age, race, education, and region."

This is why it sucks--notice the online surveys and weighting which is seldom released. Plus the RV framework is not useful for any relevant policy discussions, should be using a likely voter filter as RV highlights the non informed voters.

For a better take on the issues, try YouGov--20 questions and partisan breakdown, 2000k respondents from 2024

Posted by: Cuthbert the Witless at February 24, 2026 03:13 PM (i0Hi3)

I've been told that as well. This was in the context of that period in the 1990s when the BSA decided to exclude homosexual scoutmasters because too many boys were being molested and the lawsuits were becoming expensive. Levi's withdrew their support of BSA because of the gay scoutmaster ban and then the normal people boycotted Levi's. Then Levi's claimed that their reduced sales were due to Americans no longer being willing to pay for quality. They weren't going to admit that the boycott was impacting them.

And then after all that kerfuffle, BSA eventually caved to the lavender mafia.

At least, that's how I remember it. I'm pretty good at holding a grudge, so I still don't buy Levi's.

Worth calling out how hard schools push this shit, too. We just moved out of a blue shithole a while back... the month we left, there was a scandal: kid got pulled into the orbit of a freak teacher who pressured them into switching teams. The entire student body was told that this was to be kept secret from the kid's parents.

Another parent overheard an argument about it during a sleepover, and tipped off the kid's parents. School did the whole "it's not the parent's business" shit and clammed up. Family pulled kid from school. Teacher kept trying to contact the kid to get them to run away from home, but kid didn't want any of this shit anymore. Family fled the country on account of pro-freak state laws, but printed out the emails from the teacher and posted them all over town on the way out... which is how this all came to light.

Killer of Caltech Astrophysicist Was Let Out of Jail by Leftwing Judge, Citing California's "Unnecessary Prosecutions" Law

Signed into law by Gavin Newsom, of course.


It is better that a thousand innocent men be killed by Democrat criminal lunatics than a single Democrat criminal spend a night in stir, goes the insane leftwing "thinking."

A gunman accused of shooting dead a world-famous Caltech genius last week was let out of jail just two months ago despite a felony gun charge, the California Post has learned.

Freddy Snyder was released by a judge using an "unnecessary prosecutions" law in December -- before allegedly going on to kill Carl Grillmair in Llano last week.

The 29-year-old was picked up two days before Christmas for carrying a loaded firearm and an attempted jail escape, but was released on his own recognizance.

The felony case was suddenly dismissed under the Penal Code 1385 California, often referred to as PC 1385, a code ultimately decided by the judge.

...

DCD Law, an LA law firm, said: "The key standard for dismissal under Penal Code 1385 is the "interest of justice."

"This means the court looks beyond technical rules and focuses on what is fair. The judge considers the nature of the offense, the circumstances of the accused, and public interest."

Gavin Newsom is now talkin' some jive about wanting to "moderate" on cultural issues, just months before he formally announces his run for president.

Of course, his actual record is of limitless, remorseless advocacy for trans grooming.


Wesley Yang
@wesyang

13h

Newsom made doing the will of the most extreme trans activists in the world a priority from which he never wavered during a decade as governor of California. He will say whatever is necessary to recapture the White House and then, like Biden, he will work tirelessly to permit zero daylight to come between himself and the most extreme trans activists. He will spare nothing in imposing a whole of government effort to coerce every American into advancing the transgender agenda at any cost.

Although Gavin Newsom attempted to pander to black Democrats by saying he had low SAT scores and "can't read," when he's in front of white people he wants to impress, he says he read a 260 page book in 90 minutes.

He's also claiming he had no idea that he comes from a family of disgusting filthy communist traitors. Even CNN's leftwing propagandist Dana Bash has to question Newsom's claim of total ignorance of his family's support for the Soviet Union and trips to that communist tyranny.

If Newsom is the fool they're sending to stop fascism then they're not serious about stopping fascism. I can't stand this MFer, he gives me Regan vibes.

California has not had 1 major good politician. This is the state that brought you a traitor (Nixon), a President that allowed the CIA to drug the black communities (Reagan), a liar and a statist (Kamala Harris) and now a Blue MAGA dipshit who is allowing the cops to arrest homeless people (Newsome).

Called it back when he came out as anti-trans. He's just as bad as Trump, just not blatant enough for us to know he's going to screw us just as badly.

Yeah but the left says lots of shit. It's time for my normal reminder, here;

The entire prog epistemology is built ENTIRELY around one thing: they are so complete correct, that what is "right" is literally defined by what they want right now. There is no such thing as lying; they cannot, by definition, lie or commit evil acts. Everything, EVERYTHING, is permitted on account of their supreme rightness. That's it. That's the entire ideology, and it's been that way since Lenin.

These people WANT to release rapists and murderers to plague us. Just like the WANT hordes of goatfuckers to rape girls in the UK. No amount of rhetoric will dissuade them from this. You cannot argue with them. The only reason they make statements to you is to make demands or to dissemble or delay while they prepare to rape/murder/rob you.

Pearl clutching about their lies is pointless, they want to fucking kill you.

If he makes it to the D nomination, I hope Vance (or whomever) guts him on live TV using his own words and record...rhetorically, of course.

That's true only if she decides not to run. If she decides to run she will win South Carolina and be on the road to nomination very quickly.

The Democrats will need to pay her big money to stay away.

We're talking about the Democrats here. If they don't want her to be their standard bearer (and they don't), she won't. She might meet with some accident, or more likely, they'll simply threaten to expose something about her that she doesn't want to be exposed.

Posted by: 18-1

The "kidnapping" plot would boost her, I think, as a sympathetic victim of "right-wing hate" as the reality of Fed involvement wouldn't get much media traction, instead would be excused as routine law enforcement infiltration of violent terrorist groups.

Her bigger issue is she'd suffer in the primaries, because she did one or two joint events with Trump and the far Left say that makes her a moderate traitor DINO that can't be trusted.

We have known for years the police and local councils were in on some of the rape gangs, but the scale of what is coming out is just staggering. Particularly survivors saying police vehicles were used to transport sex slaves, and the police were directly involved in murdering girls.

244 Whoa!

IBM lost $30B in value yesterday afternoon because of a five-minute blog post by AI startup Anthropic explaining that its Claude Code tool now speaks fluent COBOL. n computing terms, COBOL (Common Business-Oriented Language) might as well be Attic Greek, ancient and spoken by only a few specialists. But it's also the programming language used in embedded systems in everything from ATMs to airlines to government systems.

Tech analyst Shanaka Anslem Perera wrote on Monday that the COBOL programmers who built those systems "retired decades ago," and that "finding engineers who can even read COBOL gets harder every quarter." He added, "Entire consulting empires existed because the code was too old, too tangled, and too critical to touch. Companies paid IBM billions because the alternative was catastrophic system failure."

In other words, IBM built a multibillion-dollar Castle Wall of Ignorance around its portfolio.

Yet it took just a single blog post to breach those fortifications. If Claude Code can do things "in quarters instead of years," as Perera put it, and at far lower cost, then Anthropic just swiped IBM's lunch money.

While Serving as UK's Top Prosecutor, Keir Starmer Routinely Let Off Grooming Gang Rapists With... A Warning Letter

That'll teach a stone-age Pakistani Rape Warlord to obey the Western law.

A little context: The UK, which is the worst of all possible worlds, has a system whereby they issue "ASBOs" to petty (or not-so-petty) offenders. ASBO stands for Anti-Social Behavior Order, an official reprimand to stop being a vandal or mugger and #DoBetter.

I say this is the worst of all possible worlds because in some cases, ASBOs are used to excuse fairly serious offenders without any actual penalties, and in other cases, people are slapped with an ASBO because they were reported to have said "I don't think a man can become a woman" at dinner.

This case concerns Keir Starmer's Crown Prosecution office to issue a modified kind of ASBO... for systematized gang-rape of children. Many British people are mocking this as "ASBOs for pedos" which is basically the non-joking truth.

Perfect.


British Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer has been accused of overseeing a system which reportedly allowed suspected grooming gang child rapists to walk free with a warning during his time as the country's top prosecutor.

According to an investigation from the Express newspaper, at least 13,000 "Child Abduction Warning Notices" were sent out by police between 2008 and 2025 in a supposed effort to "disrupt" child rape grooming gangs. However, it is possible that the true figure is much higher, given inconsistent record-keeping by police forces.

The warning letter system, the paper noted, was started in the wake of revelations concerning the predominantly Pakistani Muslim child rape gang scandals in Rotherham and Rochdale.

The investigation noted that the first instance of the term "Child Abduction Warning Notices" as a part of a national strategy to confront sexual abuse was in a 2011 report written by Sir Keir Starmer when he was serving at the helm of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS).

In one notable example, some 220 warning letters were reportedly handed out to suspected members of a Newcastle grooming gang as a part of Northumbria Police's Operation Sanctuary.

Despite police forces using such warning letters for nearly two decades, there has never been any comprehensive study into their effectiveness in deterring child sex offenders or the likelihood of their issuance leading to prosecutions.

Former Manchester detective turned grooming gang whistleblower Maggie Oliver told the Express that she had witnessed police colleagues using the warning letters as a means of making investigations "go away".

"I worked on a case where we had identified 97 child abusers that investigation should have led to serious charges of child rape on a pretty industrial scale," she said. "I expected multiple charges of rape against possibly dozens of men. But [instead they] warned a couple of men under the child abduction warning notices. My opinion is they were used to get rid of a job."

While it's nice that the UK government arrested both Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson for allegedly passing "market-moving" confidential government information to Pedophile Financier Jeffrey Epstein, they continue to cover up for the Pakistani Child Rape Warlords.

This letter from Restore Party leader Rupert Lowe's privately-funded inquiry into the state-permitted Pakistani rape gangs is so horrifying I don't even want to post it.

At least at the UK's socialized health bureaucracy, they've laid down the law: You must use your mentally-ill coworker's fake pronouns, and if you "misgender" (correctly gender) them, you are required to apologize.


NHS staff are told they can use 'Xey/Xem' pronouns at work in new guidance - and colleagues who get them wrong have to say sorry

By KATHERINE LAWTON, SENIOR NEWS REPORTER


NHS staff have been told they can use the pronouns 'Xey/Xem' at work as part of a plan to boost 'inclusion in the workplace'.

The gender-neutral pronouns - often used within nonbinary and trans communities - can be used as alternatives to I/me, She/her, He/him, They/them, Ze/Zir or It/Its depending on the colleague's preference.

King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in south London also told staff they should apologise if they accidentally use the 'wrong' pronouns.

The trust said it was each person's responsibility to 'identify what their pronouns are', explaining the aim was to 'create an inclusive environment and demonstrate inclusion in the workplace'.

And if pronouns 'aren't important to you', the trust added, it is 'even more important to use them'.

On one hand, the British insist that you remember a mentally-ill drama tornado insists on being called "it/xem," and if you forget that, you owe them a state-mandated apology.

On the other hand, conquering foreign barbarians are permitted by the British to rape their children on an industrial scale.

Good.
Saw a clip from an Indian (dot) village. Where a muslim portrayed himself as a devout Hindu (dot, holy bracelet and necklace) trying to pick up young Hindu girls for livery.
Civilian enforcement got him, beat him, and dragged him to jail.

I think that his colleagues in the Labour cabinet intend to keep Starmer up as an arrow catcher while they do what they can to destroy Britain behind his political corpse's cover. Same as why Biden was not forced out by Dems but used as a meat puppet for nameless underlings using the autopen.

Then figure about a year out from required general elections, that someone like Angela Raymer (deputy PM under Starmer forced out for income tax issues) is brought back as a fresh face.

Former Prime Minister Thorbjørn Jagland was hospitalised after a suicide attempt, after he was charged with corruption in connection with his close relationship with convicted child sex trafficker Jeffery Epstein.

And get this:

The press at the Norwegian Editors' Association and selected Norwegian editors had reached an agreement with Jagland's lawyer on February 17, that they would not be covering this incident, a local report mentioned. Sources suggest that Jagland's condition is currently serious.

No other countries on this planet are our allies, hell even some of our own citizens hate the United States. Starting to be called an isolationist by some in my own circles. Isolationism has been a bad word for a while Ive even used it in the past myself as a negative. Not anymore.
We have rape n murder by "immigrants' here in the United States. These MF'ers in England and Europe are on their own in my eyes. Could give two shits about their women and children. It's a horrible thing to say but I've got my own tribe to worry about. England and Europe can burn.

Posted by: Chuck Martel at February 24, 2026 12:16 PM (Dv3i1)

It should be noted that the monarch doesn't decide who gets knighted. They haven't had that power for quite some time.

"Does the Queen decide who gets an honour?

No. In line with the Monarch's other duties, she acts on the advice of her ministers, who present her with a list of nominees each year for her approval. The Monarch's power to decide disappeared in the 18th and 19th Century, as government by a cabinet of ministers headed by a prime minister developed."

"British conservative political commentator Katie Hopkins was recently interviewed by UK police at the threat of being arrested for a social media post she made joking about herself being a “spaz.”

“I called myself a spaz and I got arrested effectively by British police because that’s offensive. Yeah, I’m waiting to find out if I’m going to be charged against the Online Communications Act for calling myself a spaz.”

I despise how even the limp "opposition" to the Islamic call to prayer being broadcast is all based on "noise" or how "early" it could be.

It's offensive because it's a triumphalist display meant to signify Islamic conquest of the public space. It's meant to intimidate Christians and Jews and stands in complete opposition to the values of America.

187 Each Mexican state sets the minimum age of consent for sex outside marriage by statute. These vary between 12 and 15. The federal government sets an age of 18, and there are statutory rape (estupro) laws that prohibit deception and often seduction in order to have sex with a minor over the minimum age of consent. For example, Sinaloa sets the minimum age at 12, but presumes that any sex between an adult and a minor under 16 is statutory rape; sex with a minor over 16 is also prosecutable, though usually only at the request of the minor or their legal guardians.

You can't praise hard work, sacrifice and teamwork and then expect people to look up to a bunch of bootlickers while ignoring the athletes who speak out for their principles. Which USA player will give their gold medal to Trump?

As a Canadian. Massive props to the women's team. Gutted to see our ladies lose, but the U.S women's team deserved the win. Fuck the guys team.

as an Australian I was sympathetic to your team. Then these videos emerge with the US Men's Hockey team kneeling to Trump. The world is now with Canada.

Elbows Up.

Trump and Kash both ruined a fantastic performance. I was so excited for them, then they ruined it. Everything Trump touches turns to shit, then dies.

They won, and then immediately shared a misogynistic joke about the US Women's Team with Trump. You'll have to excuse me if I don't join the celebration.

Very cool of these chuds to take a great moment and ruin it forever. They may have won the gold but they're still a bunch of fucking losers.

I know you have been exposing this to your readers for over a decade.

If it has taken the arrest of the poofer friends of that wanker Starmer to stop this it is worth it.

Although I grieve for the girls (and probably boys,because Afghans like them) who are now adults. These women will never be the same, mentally or physically. God help them, protect them, and may this stop now.

The Morning Rant

punk-monkey.jpg

I'll take European solidarity with Ukraine seriously when they start sending troops.

It is relatively easy to send military aid and "humanitarian" support...after all, that is simply a financial transfer from their citizens to Ukraine, of course with hefty chunks of those funds going to the well-connected.

And let us not forget the ongoing purchase of Russian natural gas and even a bit of oil by the oh-so-sophisticated EU bourgeoisie, who spout anti-Russian platitudes while heating their homes with Russian gas. The smug hypocrisy would be difficult to tolerate if they weren't masters at it. They have been safe under the American military umbrella for 80 years while simultaneously criticizing America at every turn.

European Leaders Rally Behind Ukraine as War Enters 5th Year

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council António Costa are in Kyiv for the anniversary, along with the leaders of Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Croatia, Norway, and Sweden.

“Our objective is a comprehensive, just and lasting peace for Ukraine based on the principles of the UN Charter and international law,” Costa, von der Leyen, and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said in a joint statement.

"We support all efforts aimed at achieving such a peace – a peace with dignity and long-term security. Respect for sovereignty and territorial integrity is the cornerstone. No country can annex its neighbour. Borders cannot be changed by force. The aggressor cannot be rewarded," the EU leaders added.


How very high-minded of them! Now send your young men and women and trans-men and trans-women to fight alongside the Ukrainian people, and your empty words of support might be taken seriously. And rebuild your militaries so that you can at least support the American mission to protect Europe and its trade routes.

Otherwise, shut up, support American efforts to end this regional border dispute, and continue to lose your cultures and your souls to the Muslim invaders you invited in.

And here is the smuggest of them all! Macron, whose country has provided barely half of what the UK has sent to Ukraine, is the biggest chicken-hawk of them all!

French President Emmanuel Macron said in a post on X that the war is a “triple failure for Russia: military, economic, and strategic.”

“It has strengthened NATO—the very expansion Russia sought to prevent—galvanized Europeans it hoped to weaken, and laid bare the fragility of an imperialism from another age. Because Ukraine is the first line of defence of our continent, France and Europe stand resolutely by its side.” Macron added.


Strong words coming from a man whose country has an almost unblemished record of defeat in the last 100 years. Ukraine had better hold the line, because once the Russians get to the French border, they will have a clear path to the channel.

38 One story the media has very successfully covered with a pillow until it stopped moving is the ethnic cleansing of California. The Aztecs aggressively and often very violently purge all blacks from the communities they invade and conquer. This has led to a black diaspora from CA - those communities have been erased over the last quarter century.

I think that may help explain Gavin Newsom's insane recent remarks. He probably hasn't met many blacks, they are no longer important in the CA political world he lives in, and he views them as apemen who can't read. He's probably been able to be flippantly racist for a very long time and have it go largely unnoticed by voters.

But now he's running for the Democrat Party nomination, and getting runaway black men back on the plantation is more important than perhaps anything else for that peculiar institution at the moment... so he made a hamhanded attempt at pandering to them and accidentally, reflexively called them a bunch of retards.

Nice work, Gavin.

Which is why they've used the US as their proxy for 80 years. America is that gauche thug who isn't even real elites like us, so we'll throw him at the bad situation. Then we can't sit back and say "See? We didn't use violence."

HUNGARY BLOCKS EU SANCTIONS — ENERGY SHOWDOWN ESCALATES

Hungary’s Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó says Budapest will not support the EU’s 20th sanctions package after Ukraine halted oil deliveries to Hungary.

His message was blunt:

“I can say it 100 times… Hungary will not agree… because Ukraine decided not to restore oil deliveries.”

He warned that blocking supplies directly threatens Hungary’s energy security — calling it a matter of national sovereignty.

“No one has the right to put our energy security at risk.”

This is more than a diplomatic dispute.

It’s an energy confrontation inside Europe itself — where national interests, war policy, and EU unity are now colliding head-on.

Immigration Policy dot org: Ukrainian Immigrants in the United States, February 12, 2026

In part, "Since April 2022, the United States has offered Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to certain Ukrainians already present in the United States; as of March 2025, more than 101,000 Ukrainians held TPS, which as of this writing remained active through October 2026. (While the Trump administration has terminated TPS designations for some other countries and contemplated doing so for Ukraine, it had not acted as of this writing.) Beyond TPS for Ukrainians already in the country, the prior Biden administration created a new pathway for Ukrainians to enter: the Uniting for Ukraine humanitarian parole program. Although new applications for this program were paused by the Trump administration in January 2025,

120 240,000 Ukrainians had received parole through it, giving them relief from deportation and access to a work permit. For a brief period in 2022, the U.S. government also temporarily admitted Ukrainians who arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border without authorization to enter.

The future for recent arrivals is uncertain, given the Trump administration’s stance on the TPS program, as well as administrative delays for parolees to renew their protections."

And that's not even considering all that have been illegal immigrants in the US way before the current Russian-Ukrainian 'war.'

Further
>As of early 2026, Ukraine has moved to officially allow dual citizenship, enabling its citizens abroad to hold foreign passports, including American, without losing their Ukrainian status. This policy aims to maintain ties with the diaspora, though it means dual U.S.-Ukrainian citizens may face mobilization and travel restrictions.

Furthermore, the Russian economy is crashing, Russia is running out of men, Russia is using tanks from the 1940s on the front lines, and Russia is just one more package of sanctions away from complete economic collapse.

Also, if Ukraine doesn't win a complete and utter victory, Russia will be blitzing into Paris by next Thursday.

[After doing some quick interwebz research:] There are three other prerequisites for transmission from snails to humans:

(1) freshwater snails;

(2) the transmission cycle requires a second intermediate host (typically freshwater fish or aquatic plants); followed by

(3) raw ingestion (as cooking or freezing it first prevents transmission).

2. The Ukrainians continue their aerial attacks on Russian hydrocarbon facilities and the electrical infrastructure of the cities nearest the border. While successful, the ratio of attacks favors the Russians.
3. On the ground, the Russians have started a half-dozen new attacks across the border in the northeast. Elsewhere, they continue to grind forward. They are demilitarizing Ukraine, the hard way.

In a TikTok video Campbell posted Feb. 6 that circulated Monday on X, the candidate said the man in question blocked her and broke up with her on that exact day 10 years ago. Campbell listed her accomplishments following their separation, thanking her ex-partner — whom she revealed the first, middle and last name of — and cited her spite for him as to why she is running for Congress.

Not to mention an equal history of cocksuckery. WEB Griffin has often cited a true story in his books about an American officer who escaped from Bataan in a small boat with a handful of other American troops at the beginning of WWII. They took about 6 months to move from island to island through the Philippines and then crossing the S China Sea to the French garrison in Indochina. One of the great feats of navigation, to rival the voyage of Capt Bligh after the Mutiny.

The Americans landed and presented themselves to the French garrison in perfect military order, despite the rags that remained of their uniforms. The French commander shook hands all around, congratulated them on their epic feat.... and then immediately handed them over to the Japanese, because that Frog commander was allied with Vichy. The Americans spent several years in Jap POW camps until the end of the war, and most survived. Until his death, that American officer hated all things French and wouldn't touch any of it.

Yet French small units are composed of excellent troops, who are both well-trained and well-equipped.

The timing of that victory reveals the why: France is so afraid of another Napoleon that they politically hamstring their top command structure which makes it impossible for them to do anything.

Tartars were in number in Crimea until Stalin deported them. Crimea was one hell of a slave trading station for centuries dating back to the Greeks. Tartars were the cowboys that rounded up slaves and sold them to the traders. The Venetians built a remarkable slave trading fort in Crimea. It literally is built on cliff overlooking Black Sea.

299 293 What is the world's population?

7.96 B
8.06 B

8.26 B

Correct answer is we don't know. All the population information comes from dubious government sources in many cases where lying and pencil whipping is a common exercise.

Just the error factor in China's population estimates may take off about 500 billion people or so.

Robert Heinlein, in one of his commentaries in Expanded Universe, noted that the USSR vastly overstated its population after a trip there in the 1960's and confirmed that with a talk with an old Academy alum buddy.

Common enough for two bit thuggeries to not spend a nickel on population estimation except as it might give them a reason to grift. China, like Russia before it, though would consider it a strategic secret for military purposes.

Or just bread.
Posted by: Aetius451AD

Yep. I usually add some bright white wine like Pinot Grigio to the mix as well when cooking such. Cooking with wine tenderizes what can be fairly tough shrimp or scallops if you don't watch the timing exactly.

303 Russia's origins can be traced back to the establishment of Kievan Rus' in 862, with the city of Kiev becoming a significant center of power after Prince Oleg seized it in 882.

Kievan Rus' is considered the first East Slavic state, marking the beginning of Russian history

39 More seriously, this totally looks like the kind of painting you see on Antiques Roadshow, where the dude inherited it from a quirky great uncle, and the wife and kids have always made fun of it, so it's been hung discretely in his basement workshop/den for decades. When he shows up to the show the dowdy, serious art appraiser from Boston lit up like a little girl on Christmas morning. When she tells him that actually, this is a great example of a currently hot NYC artist from the 60's, worth more than his kid's college tuition, the dude smiles, nods and says he can't wait to tell the family he has exquisite taste.

WATCH: Chagossian First Minister Misley Mandarin has - from the new settlement on the Chagos archipelago - given Donald Trump formal permission to strike Iran from Diego Garcia.

He says: "We, the people of the Chagos Islands, give our blessing for the United States to use the base at Diego Garcia for strikes against the Iranian regime – in defence of the Iranian people."

224 DU comments from Sunday lol

Head to head poll between JD Vance and Newsom for 2028 is encouraging! Yahoo News/ YouGov poll of US adults from Feb. 9-12: JD 43% Newsom 49%

Even as a stalking horse, Newsom can drive Vance's poll numbers down farther. And Newsom won’t have to try all that hard for the simple fact that Vance is widely disliked.

Newsom is a bit of lightning rod, so not surprising. He's a good man, but a man with a LOT of baggage. We love him for standing up to Trump, but he can be soooo easily attacked and dragged into the mud with all the negative shit around him.

What negative sh*t? Any Democratic candidate will be dragged through the mud, whether warranted or not. We need a candidate who can wash off and loudly sling it back. I think Newsom fits the bill.

Newsom is sharp as a whip and comes across quite well, IMO. We shall see how this progresses on the DEM side as I know Newsom has his detractors, but I like him. That doesn't mean I'm ready to say "he's the one," but he COULD be.

People do NOT like JD Vance. Newsom may or may not be the one in 2028, but he has charisma and good looks and knows how to handle social media

It plays a video taken of someone walking down the street in a random city and you have to guess where they are.

------
In August 2022, Jay Jones sent a series of text messages to then-Republican Delegate Carrie Coyner. In the messages, Jones used graphic and violent language regarding then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, including suggesting that if he had two bullets for three people (listing Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot), "Gilbert gets two bullets to the head."

Delegate Coyner responded to the messages by saying, "Jay please stop," to which Jones replied "lol. okay okay".

The messages resurfaced in October 2025, shortly before the election, causing a bipartisan backlash.

Jones acknowledged sending the messages, apologized to Speaker Gilbert and his family, and stated that reading the words back made him "sick to [his] stomach" and that he was "embarrassed, ashamed and sorry."

Despite calls from Republicans for him to drop out of the race, Jones continued his campaign and subsequently won the election for Attorney General. (AI Overview)

As a Canadian. Massive props to the women's team. Gutted to see our ladies lose, but the U.S women's team deserved the win. Fuck the guys team.

as an Australian I was sympathetic to your team. Then these videos emerge with the US Men's Hockey team kneeling to Trump. The world is now with Canada.

Trump and Kash both ruined a fantastic performance. I was so excited for them, then they ruined it. Everything Trump touches turns to shit, then dies.

They won, and then immediately shared a misogynistic joke about the US Women's Team with Trump. You'll have to excuse me if I don't join the celebration.

Very cool of these chuds to take a great moment and ruin it forever. They may have won the gold but they're still a bunch of fucking losers.

The Morning Report — 2/24/26

PirrohicVictory.jpg

Good morning kids. Let's talk about some heroes and villains, no, I'm not referring to an old Beach Boys tune. But starting off with the latter:


U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro’s office is allegedly halting a case against several Democrats who took part in a video and encouraged military members to disobey orders, according to a report. “Three people familiar with the matter” reportedly told NBC News that Pirro’s office “decided to stop pursuing the case” against Sens. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) and Mark Kelly (D-AZ), and Reps. Chris Deluzio (D-PA), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH), and Jason Crow (D-CO).
The decision reportedly comes after a “federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., unanimously rejected an attempt by Pirro” to have the Democrat lawmakers indicted for their roles in a video in which they encouraged military members to disobey orders,

The miscreants cited above quite literally were encouraging military personnel to commit mutiny. Their excuse was that they were assuring those serving in uniform that they had their backs in the event that President Trump were to issue illegal orders that supposedly endangered the citizenry. This of course was both as a means of destabilizing/kneecapping President Trump's legitimate authority as commander-in-chief to maintain order in the face of an actual Democrat led/instigated/fueled/fomented insurrection by instigating a fiction that the President was going to institute martial law and declare himself President for life or some such other pornographic drivel. I am referring to the civil disorder and rioting and violent confrontations against ICE, National Guardsmen and law enforcement agencies who are merely doing their duty. As well as military action vis a vis the Venezuelan drug running operations, and elsewhere around the globe.

I have never served in uniform but knowing many who have and I know that even the lowliest enlisted man or woman, let alone those in the officer corps are certainly instructed and have a basic understanding and the morals and ethics to know right from wrong. It is otherwise axiomatic that those who choose to serve their country in our armed forces are innately decent moral upstanding individuals who have a love of their country, something totally alien and abhorrent to those on the Left and the Democrat Party.

And what of Jeannine Pirro? If a federal grand jury refuses to indict the traitors, there's not much she can do I suppose, or did she just throw up her hands and quit.

And now the diametric opposite of all of the above in a truly inspiring story of real American heroism:

The Nazi soldiers made their orders very clear: Jewish American prisoners of war were to be separated from their fellow brothers in arms and sent to an uncertain fate.

But Master Sgt. Roddie Edmonds would have none of that. As the highest-ranking noncommissioned officer held in the German POW camp, he ordered more than 1,000 Americans captives to step forward with him and brazenly pronounced: “We are all Jews here.”

He would not waver, even with a pistol to his head, and his captors eventually backed down.

Edmonds’ moral stand in a Nazi prison camp is finally being marked with the United States’ highest military honor, the Medal of Honor, more than eight decades after he calmly faced down a German officer’s pistol.

When you consider the hideous nature and intention behind what Mark Kelly and those other traitorous bastards did with that video, and it is a complete debasing of the blessed memory of Roddie Edmonds as well as every other wonderful guy and gal who faithfully served and still serve our nation. And that makes my blood boil.


Have a great day.

Posted by: SpeakingOf at February 24, 2026

***
Early in the 2000s, part of my job was submitting textbook orders to the campus bookstore. My predecessor would ask for orders, then type everything in. I took the existing .PDF of the book order form and made it fillable, then sent it to the faculty for *them* to fill out. I'd keep a digital copy before I sent it on. That way, if they taught the same course with the same books a semester or a year later, I could dig out the previous order form, change the date, and send it in.

Each semester I also asked the registrar for a complete listing of all the courses in a spreadsheet. I'd read them into my Access database. Then the data could be used for my own class schedule broken down by time and day, so I knew when everybody was in class; and for file folder labels for the classes. Computers are supposed to *save* us labor, right?

27 From the Battle Of Khaybar, 628 AD, wiki entry:

"The battle ended with the surrender of the Khaybar Jews, who were then allowed to continue living in the region on the condition that they would give one-half of their produce to the Muslims.

The imposition of tribute by the Muslims onto the Jews served as a precedent for provisions in Islamic law, which requires the regular exaction of tribute—known as jizya—from dhimmi non-Muslim subjects living in areas under Muslim rule, as well as the confiscation of land belonging to non-Muslims to merge into the collective property of the Muslim community."

This is the judicial coup in action. In a "fair" judiciary Pirro would be given a chance, in court to plead her case. The politicians would have to retain legal council and they'd all have to go through the motions, even if found not guilty.

Which is what Trump and his supporters went through for 4 years. Except the "fair" judiciary isn't fair.

This is a huge problem that the administration hasn't figured out how to deal with. Maybe there is no solution... IDK.

True, but the process is still a punishment.

You can't discount the D.C. (or NYC or *insert lefty stronghold here*) factor. It will be extremely difficult to bring an indictment on any Dem for any crime in those jurisdictions, especially when they judges are lined up against the prosecutors, too, like Comey's case in Virginia for example.

Lots of futurists have been saying for a long time that they look forward to the day when AI is advanced enough for them to accomplish their insane, Satanic goal of extinguishing humanity and replacing it with machines.

But, til now, industry leaders have been *very* careful to say they *definitely do not* plan to murder off the human race.

Ssm Altman, however, was at some conference in India and someone asked about the enormous amount of energy AI requires, and he went on a lengthy rodomontade that boils down to "yeah, they're energy intensive, but not nearly as wasteful and dirty as all these filthy g-ddamned humans."

Further, because they cannot earn admission, we must dumb down the curriculum to ensure that they pass. Which, of course, means that we need programs to get them hired, even with their degree, since everyone assumes it's worthless.

It would have been cheaper and more honest to just pay them a salary to exist. Maybe condition it on staying out of trouble. I'd add "and no kids" since folks (of any race) on the dole shouldn't be permitted to add to the burden but that'd be rayciss.

Disciplined administratively, NOT through the Court system. It’s a crucial distinction.

The only successful way to have dealt with the Kelly et al situation would have been for Trump and. Pirro to have made a joint statement (a public address would have been even better) saying “The Democrats would have attempted to use the Justice system to crush any speech they disliked, just like when (then list the incidents). We do not believe that is healthy for the life of our country, since we believe that the best counter is MORE free speech, not less.

Now this is why what those 6 said is wrong, and is dangerous for our country’s health and future (then go through the arguments against)

Conservatives have been conditioned not to feel hatred, partly through an overweening scruple of political comity which has wrongly been imposed on us as our high-minded burden, and partly through a stark fear of being labeled hateful by the media.

But we must embrace the freedom to feel and put into motion a constructive, righteous hatred (call it Breitbart's legacy) in the name of the moral clarity required to understand our enemies, survive their murderous intentions and save our nation.

In many ways (especially Term 2 appointments) Trump has outperformed Reagan - but Reagan had a genius for public addresses that Trump just doesn’t get, and never will. People who didn’t listen to RR live won’t get it, but at the end of one of Reagan’s addresses even the leftists would have tears in their eyes and would be mumbling “you’re right, you’re right.”
It didn’t last with them, of course, but as long as he was speaking, he was spell binding.

242 Not watching the SOTU tonight but i quit watching him awhile ago it just angers me to watch a president lie non stop.

I am liking how old and sick he sounds lately. He’s demented enough I genuinely don’t think he knows he’s lying. The only exception is the Epstein scandal. his genuine anger with the whole thing contrasts sharply with his smug demeanor when he lies about anything else

Journalists get paid to listen to BS like this. If he were to accidentally say something significant, they would tell us.

We can't trust the media anymore. I think of Tony Hinchcliffe and how he told a joke about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally. The joke got all the press. What didn't get press were the violent, racist comments of other speakers at the rally.  So I won't ever trust any media source to actually report on the most disqualifying things Trump says.

I don't understand why it is fine for the repubs to stand and cheer and chant but the Dems are supposed to sit there and take it silently. Why can't they stand up and boo? Only cheering allowed?

I’ll watch the Democratic response, which better not be anything less than “We are impeaching Donald Trump."

There's a fly in this ointment, though, and I think these lunatics are in for a real shock. While they hate humanity, they don't understand it very well, and their exceedingly insular bubble of autistic freakazoids ensures they never will.

307 That would certainly complicate things, but it still wouldn't matter in the final analysis. No machine can ever be more vicious or desire survival more than a man, and if all computers must be destroyed for man to survive, then man will destroy all computers. Their febrile fantasy will likely never come close to fruition, because the humans will clue in and wreck absolutely everything before it comes to that.

316 Epstein files: Longevity guru Peter Attia quits CBS News after email fallout

- Longevity guru Dr. Peter Attia resigned as a contributor to CBS News amid fallout over his past email correspondence with convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein being made public.
- Attia has not been accused of wrongdoing, but “he stepped back to ensure his involvement didn’t become a distraction from the important work being done at CBS,” his spokesman said.
- Attia was among a group of CBS News contributors recruited by Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss, who was hired months after the network’s parent, Paramount Skydance, completed a merger between its two prior constituent parts.

377 But if Pirro can't get a charge out of a grand jury how could she expect to get a conviction? Waste of time/money. She did the right thing dropping it.

Posted by: AB at February 24, 2026 10:07 AM (ArLSQ)


Pirro literally can't get a conviction because she can't go to trial at all without the grand jury's indictment.

At least according to the rules in NY, all she could do is try again with the next grand jury - the prosecutor gets two tries. The grand jury system is stacked in the prosecutor's favor - the accused is not represented at all, and is not even entitled to know that they have been accused. The prosecutor needs a simple majority of the jurors (not unanimity, like with a trial jury). Grand juries almost always indict, and do so unanimously.

But Pirro couldn't get a SINGLE random grand juror in DC to indict. It's a district with 95%+ rabidly lunatic leftists who saw the politicians' video as just "the right thing to do". Pirro saw that it was a hopeless waste of time to pursue it further.

The DC court simply needs to be abolished.

Top Story

  • Is age verification a trap? Yes. (IEEE Spectrum)

    Online age verification intrinsically damages user privacy, while failing to work in both directions:
    False positives are common. Platforms identify as minors adults with youthful faces, or adults who are sharing family devices, or have otherwise unusual usage. They lock accounts, sometimes for days. False negatives also persist. Teenagers learn quickly how to evade checks by borrowing IDs, cycling accounts, or using VPNs, and posting old Altered Images and Mental As Anything videos to their blogs that they've been running continuously since... 2003.
    Okay, I'm maybe not so young that I need to worry about that problem.
    The appeal process itself creates new privacy risks. Platforms must store biometric data, ID images, and verification logs long enough to defend their decisions to regulators. So if an adult who is tired of submitting selfies to verify their age finally uploads an ID, the system must now secure that stored ID. Each retained record becomes a potential breach target.
    One more quote:
    The age-verification trap is not a glitch. It is what you get when regulators treat age enforcement as mandatory and privacy as optional.
    This is not an accident.


  • But how big is the problem really? Surely nobody is out there putting terabytes of age-verification data in unprotected databases accessible to anyone on the internet oh that just happened again. (Tech Radar)

    IDMerit, an AI-powered age-verification service, had three billion user records exposed in an unprotected MongoDB database.

    Hey, at least they weren't running Elasticsearch.

11 I had to extract some data from PDF files just a couple weeks ago. It was originally from a spreadsheet, but instead of being saved as .xlsx or even .csv, someone had done a "Print to PDF" operation and saved it as PDF. Can confirm that PDF isn't a text format: it's a bunch of "these letters are in this position on the page" data. If you copy and paste, text from different columns of the table end up copying next to each other with no spaces or anything between them.

I did actually find an AI tool that did a fairly reasonable job of looking at the PDF's structure and extracting the columns from the data. It made a lot of mistakes, getting some columns swapped and some rows swapped, but even fixing the mistakes it made ended up being less tedious than typing all that data in myself.

But this was an AI tool that was specifically trained on PDFs. Most tools aren't.

18 PDFs are great for sending documents when you need the design and fonts to be the same without worrying about attaching the fonts and the embedded images (so great for publishing), or if it has a lot of scanned images of word processed documents. They're also great if you need to password protect a document.

Not so great for transferring actual data/words.
In those cases it's best to just send the original program's saved file, especially if fonts and text formatting don't matter, e.g., send the original .doc or .xlsx file.

Oh, I watched the season finale of All Creatures Great and Small last night. Christmas 1945 must indeed have been a good one after all the war years, and not just in Britain. Anyway, it was charming as usual . . . and my writer's mind wonders if the show runners plan to have Siegfried eventually marry Audrey, Mrs. Hall. The terrible disappointment on her face when she sees him with the attractive Dorothy at the pub, and his remark in the previous episode, "I'll always need you, Mrs. Hall" . . . well, you have to wonder.

I worked with PDF a lot at my former job. Great for users, terrible for developers. That PDF was never meant to be editable always perplexed me because that's the one thing people always want to do with documents, aside from reading them.

Regardless, we had developed a PDF text editor. A customer complained that he could not edit his document. Upon analysis we discovered that, due to font licensing issues, the PDF generator that created it had rendered all the text as line-drawing commands.

77 @61/"Perfessor" Squirrel: "A number of faculty at the university where I work have been panicking because their hand-written class notes that have been converted to PDF will not meet the Title II ADA rules for accessibility that are mandated starting at the end of April."

Grandfathering should apply to all notes created prior to the ADA rules' effective date, yes?

As for how to solve this in an ongoing way: Use some of the budget to hire some student touch typists to do some transcribing of all newly created classroom notes.

Early in the 2000s, part of my job was submitting textbook orders to the campus bookstore. My predecessor would fill them out, I think with a typewriter. I took the existing .PDF of the book order form and made it fillable, then sent it to the faculty for *them* to fill out. I'd keep a digital copy before I sent it on. That way, if they taught the same course with the same books a semester or a year later, I could dig out the previous order form, change the date, and send it in.

Each semester I also asked the registrar for a complete listing of all the courses in a spreadsheet. I'd read them into my Access database. Then the data could be used for my own class schedule broken down by time and day, so I knew when everybody was in class; and for file folder labels for the classes. Computers are supposed to *save* us labor, right?

One Christmas was so much like another, in those years around the sea-town corner now and out of all sound except the distant speaking of the voices I sometimes hear a moment before sleep, that I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.

To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold.
-- Aristotle

Yeah, that's a classical quotation because I couldn't find one about a snow hat!

Winter is a grand season, and the inconvenience of a foot or so of snow on the ground is dwarfed by its beauty. Yes, it's my favorite season, and why I will never live in the south, no matter how wonderful a place it is!

The purpose of an objective scoring system is to eliminate exactly the kind of whining and whinging and loser-talk that is on full display by one of the stars of the Canadian Men's Olympic hockey team.

Bitter Canadian star Nathan MacKinnon shades US after Olympic loss: 'You be the judge'

"You be the judge of who was the better team today," MacKinnon said after the game, according to the Canadian Press.

"Just finishing. That's it," MacKinnon added when asked what more Canada could have done. "The looks we had, we would've taken any day. I missed an open net myself, and I really wish I could have that one back."

I AM the judge.

Well...I and the scorers, who seem to have decided that contrary to what the entitled little bitch McKinnon thinks, the United States of America won the game.

By scoring more goals than their opponents.

Funny how that works!

This is why cats are not good pets. This is why cats should be kept in cages. This is why dogs are the only animals that should be free to roam our homes.

I'm lucky to be alive after sustaining 'car crash injuries' tripping over my cat

A UK man miraculously survived after sustaining a broken neck, fractured spine, smashed ribs, blood in his lungs and other “car crash”-evoking injuries from — wait for it — tripping over his cat.

“I can’t remember much, just falling fast — it was quick and it was over within seconds, then I was at the bottom,” victim Chris Rowley, 59, told the Mirror.

The freak “Apocalypse Meow” accident reportedly occurred on the evening of Oct. 23 while the Leicestershire-based professional musician was home alone with his hairless Egyptian sphinx kitten, Eric Morecambe.


Although...maybe the cat was just getting back at its owner for the asshole name he gave him!

5 The Elon Musk haters have come up with a new, shocking, statistic!

The Ford Pinto had a death rate of 85 people for 10 million cars sold. The Cybertruck hasn't sold 10 million, but the fatality rate so far maths out to 1,452 people killed per 10 million sold.

This article by a "world class software engineer" bases this shocking claim on three (3) crashes where a Cybertruck caught fire in a fatal accident, killing a grand total of five (5) people.

Since only 34,438 Cybertrucks were sold as of January 1,2025, that leads to the high fatality rate.

I guess being a "world class software engineer" doesn't teach you about the perils of relying on small sample sizes.

7 Looks like light n fluffy mountain snow. My daughter lived outside Denver and got that 8 or 10 times a year. Light and easy to shovel. Rarely induces a heart attack.

There are aspects of winter I like, but it is probably my least favorite season. Thus, I'm a contented Texan. Nevertheless, I appreciate your viewpoint, and your sharing of it, which was very pleasant. I wish I could enjoy winter more at times, and not get done in by darkness and short days. 6 months of summer can get tiresome, too, but somehow I'm constitutionally suited for it.

Thanks for the somehow uplifting winter thoughts.

113 This article by a "world class software engineer" bases this shocking claim on three (3) crashes where a Cybertruck caught fire in a fatal accident, killing a grand total of five (5) people.

Since only 34,438 Cybertrucks were sold as of January 1,2025, that leads to the high fatality rate.

I guess being a "world class software engineer" doesn't teach you about the perils of relying on small sample sizes.
Posted by: The ARC


For a sense of scale - One in 7,000 of anything sold did not result in a fatality. Except maybe euthanasia drugs.
And ~35,000 is not a small sample size. It is a 100% sample of Cybertrucks.

135 The snow in the East is a conspiracy to make us in the Intermountain West sad, envious, and sometimes flat out ticked off. However, life goes on. We have about half of normal snowpack in the mountains and hope not to die this summer. There is hope for snow for me til May, and then I will give up.

Our grands called, one to read a book to us for homework for PreK4. Then we had to sing happy birthday to her as she turns 5 tomorrow and has plans and is very demanding, but so cute and funny we do whatever she wants. We'll see her highness on Wednesday.

Then she and her brother got the phone and changed backgrounds rapidly (we have no idea how to do this). We went from Morocco, to a beach, castle, and Space Shuttle in the span of seconds. In every shot they, in the foreground, appeared to have a ceiling fan embedded in their heads. Their Golden appeard with her stuffed animal.

We finally said goodbye and my husband said he felt over stimulated. It was like an acid trip, but a pleasant one.

Just saw the chimps yesterday, so it was not like we don't see them often.

It don't happen much on that scale. Whenever I think the cold is getting to be a pain I listen to Accept-Winter dreams, and then all is right with the world. A great winter song.

162 And ~35,000 is not a small sample size. It is a 100% sample of Cybertrucks.

..and on the other side...

Passenger vehicle safety is usually measured in fatalities per 100,000,000 passenger miles.
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher

And death rates for random low-frequency things (like murder) are usually given per 100,000 population. A third of that is a plenty-big sample size.

Assuming 1 truck, 1 owner. Any co-owned vehicles get even closer to 100K.

Cybertrucks compare well to transexuals, though. Trannys killed 8 people just in February, just in the USA and Canada, and Cybertrucks have only burned 5 people to death, ever!

Make sure everyone knows where the mechanical door release is. I'm convinced Mitch McConnell's sister in law drowned because she didn't know there was a mechanical door release in additional to the electrical release.

My car-pooler who owned a Tesla didn't know there was a mechanical release until I showed her where it was.

I took the ACT with a hangover from a sleepover party. Enough for state universities and, as I was 16yrs old and skipping my junior year due to bussing and the federal gubment, I did not really care to take it over. Because I was going to be a flight attendant once I was in college for 2yrs. Fly the skies of TWA and Pan Am, because I made great decisions.

Three years later it would have been nice to have taken advanced math, chemistry and physics in HS when I was unserious, but I did fine in college.

My first semester of sophomore year and taking trig, microbiology, Spanish and English Lit I made a 4.0 GPA. My father, seeing the report card, asked if it was a joke!

So I should write dear stupid Gavin and inform him that yes, he is a retard who needs a hair stylist, but all that matters for many college kids, or any kids, is figuring out what you want. Then go for it.

But I'm kind of kicking myself for not betting on the hockey games against Canada this year. It was such an easy bet. I didn't know the US was going to take both gold medals, but I knew they'd sweep Canada.

Canada has historically beaten the US in the Olympics, and bettors are mostly tards who bet on the past, so the odds were in their favor in that regard.

But the NHL released players for the Olympics for the first time in 12 years, and the Canadian pros have been outclassed by the American pros for 30 years, and especially in the last 10 - if they couldn't muster the talent when money was on the line, they couldn't rally it up for the love of the game.

It was just a slam dunk bet against the bookies, and I should've placed one.

SMDH.

I was a very bored B student in High School... who took Pre Calculus as a Freshman (yeah, older students hated me). We didn't have any advanced placement stuff back then, but physics, math, all good... sucked at Chemistry and English, and a lot of History. Flunked Spanish...

Mom was a Middle School English Teacher, at was at the end of her wits trying to deal with me...

Then, PSATs, SATs... scored extremely high, but did not care... I was... rudderless. I was told much later that Colleges WERE sending packages to me, that Mom intercepted.

Ended up in Junior College for a couple of years... at which I sucked. Spent more time snow skiing than in class. Totally non motivated.

Then, one day, a good friend of mine's car broke down, and he needed a ride to an appointment.... to the Navy Recruiter. Took the ASVAB on a whim... then the Nuc Field Qual Test... and was in bootcamp within 3 weeks.

Life... is weird.

Posted by: fourseasons at February 23, 2026 10:59 PM (3ek7K)

We never know what the hell we'll end up with in jersey. We could go 3-4 years of no snow at all, sometimes longer, and then get a winter where we'll have 19 snowstorms, small ones, maybe 4 inches. One year, our January was packed with 60 degree days, and the last few years its in the 20's. They are great with snow removal here though. We had 18" last night and I woke up to plowed roads. Some people will do stupid shit like sell snowblowers because they didn't use them in a few years, then look surprised when everywhere is sold out and a big storm like this one is on the horizon. Well, because a bunch of chuckleheads like you all sold theirs and are now scrambling. The local governments are usually always prepared no matter what.

Sometimes I think, "I should have been serious & tried in HS vs goofing around & having fun." Then I think, nah,you did ok & still goofed around in college but did really well.

Oddly the microbiology course pointed me to medicine then nursing. I had no physics or chemistry in HS, it was one or the other at the university competing with about 100 guys set for med school or engineering. I dropped physics, did well in pre-med chemistry, anatomy and physiology.

Saw my physics TA a month after I dropped at a party.He said, "I wish you hadn't dropped, I could have gotten you through." I was clueless in that class & said, "Unless you were going to take the exams for me, I don't see how!"

I did a quick turn from working in a lab or pre-med to nursing and all was well. I could not see myself culturing poop, blood and urine and never seeing many people. Or 8 more years of school.

Once I had our first boy I never wanted to work full time and didn't til they were in HS. Had opportunities for a MS degree and said no.I had it all right there with my chimps at home, working once a week.

252 Oh FFS, the Canadians only outshot the US by 14 shots for the game, including OT (42 shots vs 2. so that's under 4 shots per period with the OT thrown in. Oh and this included a 5 on 3 power play opportunity for Canada (interestingly, I think they only got 2 or 3 shots on goal for the 5 on 3 time). I did note that the Canadians did get the better of play for the 2d and third periods, but I thought that it smacked more of desperation rather than Canada being the "better team." It was clear into the 3rd that Canada was having a real serious problem solving the US defensive posture and fantastic goalkeeping. Also - I have watched the OT period a number of times now. The Canadians got caught flat-footed when Hughes poked away the puck out of the US end. Makar (who had been trying to get that puck and crash the US goal) stopped skating (or started skating way too late as he saw what was developing on the other end) so there was no one to cover Hughes, essentially, when that absolutely golden crossing pass came to him. The rest is pure skill with Hughes' shot a literal laser beam through the 5 hole. You lost Canada, live with it. Try not to lose your country too.

268 Canada didn't even dominate most of the game, though I thought they did dominate the third period. USA dominated the first period, and led 1-0 afterwards. The second period was a back-and-forth tussle, and Canada (which was an All Star team, no question) definitely skated with more energy in the final period. They did outshoot USA by a lot throughout, but the measure of a game is not the number of shots on goal.

The in OT, Canada lost. So MacKinnon, who did miss an open net shot wide, can go chew on that.

Just throwing the puck in the direction of the net does not, officially, count as a "shot". It counts only if the puck either goes in the net, or would have, but for the action of a defensive player. "Shots" that bounce off the goalposts are not counted in the tally.

Posted by: Publius Redux

Even on an NHL-sized rink, power plays give a small advantage to the defenders, since there's no icing. On the wider Olympic rink, dumping the puck into the Canadian zone is even easier. Two or three guys just can't hold the whole blue line.

A "careful" power play in the NHL spends most of the 2:00 retrieving the puck from its own zone. Only getting 2 or 3 shots on an Olympic rink seems about right, really.

I met the garfunkle dude when I was really young. I went to what would be the only baseball game I ever went to. It was at Shea stadium, a Mets game. And he was sitting a row behind us. I had no clue who he was, I was a kid, but I knew the name from the radio. It was one of my father's friends that recognized him. He autographed his hat.

You've brought up an important point-- a house needs to have one toilet for each adult resident, plus (at least) one for every two children in the household.

High-resolution Chinese satellite imagery shows that all US Navy littoral combat ships have left Bahrain port, and a Burke-class destroyer has also been seen leaving.

－The reason for leaving the Bahrain naval base is that they want to move to the southern Sea of ​​Oman and northern Indian Ocean, where they are out of range of Iranian anti-ship cruise missile shore-launched systems... Also, Iranian tactical ballistic missiles cannot target the base, or if they do, the ship is not there.

We kind of have our own bathrooms. We both shower in the master bath, but the main bath is across from her office, so she uses that a lot. The 3rd bath, a half bath, is by the family room where I'm always hanging out, so I'm always using that one. I still put the lid down though, because its by the laundry room and she might sneak in every so often. If there is a woman in the house its like an airplane.

I just have gotten used to half-price employee discount meals after shift

Darleen was too distracted to think about that

And she might be right about something

Maybe Trump should push this "No Tax on Tits" or "No Tax on Overtime Tits" thing

Would appeal to all voting demographics, and maybe some Supreme Court Judges

375 Before I married & moved in with hubby, I lived next door to an older, widowed woman.

Always shoveled off her driveway and sidewalk when it snowed. She offered money each time, but I refused-- she never asked me to do the work, so it wouldn't be fair to charge! It was simply "the right thing to do."

She made some fantastic sauerkraut, which I *did* accept as "payment" LOL.

My folks were from smaller families, as am I, but my grandparents were from Big Catholic Farm Families. Big enough that the size of the local dating pool meant that Grandma and one of her sisters wound up married to two brothers from another family. That makes their kids each other's double-cousins: when "Mom's sister's kid" and "Dad's brother's kid" are the same kid.

Well that was the original purpose, but can the kids be by themselves? Noooo, gotta have adults watching them so everybody downstairs. My parents didn't do that shit. None of their siblings did either. Well, mom's one sister did, because she had a cape house, and the rooms were so small you had to step out to change your mind. Her basement was finished because it fit everybody. She always did Easter there.

@DNIGabbard “The most powerful people in our country were directly leading at the helm under Barack Hussein Obama and his senior national security cabinet—James Comey, John Brennan, James Clapper, Susan Rice—essentially making a very intentional decision to create this manufactured, politicized piece of intelligence with the objective of subverting the will of the American people, who in November 2016 delivered a historic victory to Donald Trump, defeating Hillary Clinton.

Barack Obama and his team’s goal was essentially to not accept the decision of the American people and to use this manufactured, politicized intelligence as a means to enact what would become, essentially, a years-long coup against President Trump. ...

The grandparents on both sides moved in the early 70's, and their new houses got the elaborate finished basements. Mt paternal grandparents got lucky, it was that way when they moved in, the other had it done after they moved. Before that there was no finished basements, so we basically used the main floor, but they shoved us in a spare bedroom. I have an ancient 8mm home movie that my father shot at his mothers house before they moved. Its hysterical, he zooms in on the door, which somebody opened slowly and poof, total chaos, the cousins were jumping around doing all kinds of shit, and then slowly you see it...a wooden spoon slowly drifts into the frame wielded by my aunt and the kids just stop. I have video proof of a wooden spoon being wielded by an italian aunt. The shit is real. lol

393 Balochistan is in the eastern part of Pakistan and they hate each other and the Balochs want to be set apart/independent of Pakistan.
--
BREAKING: Following the unification of terrorist groups in Balochistan under a single organization several months ago, five Kurdish terrorist groups have now also declared a unified alliance to fight against Iran

The PJAK, Komala, PAK, PDKI, and Khabat formed an alliance today named the 'Alliance of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan'.

The unification of seperatist forces in North-Western Iran (Kurds) and South-Eastern Iran (Balochis) is almost certainly in preparation for a joint ground offensive against the Islamic Republic in case of a full-scale war by the U.S. and Israel

Quitting is brutal. I'm not 100%. I'll grab one every so often, but some decent time passes between each. Fuck it, moderation I say. Smoking a bunch of them every day is where you get screwed, but 1 every so many days? I'm not even going to concern myself with that. I think 1 ever so often is probably safer than hitting a vape every 30 seconds. I tried a vape, it made my lungs feel heavy after a while. screw that.

“ Winter is a grand season, and the inconvenience of a foot or so of snow on the ground is dwarfed by its beauty. Yes, it's my favorite season, and why I will never live in the south, no matter how wonderful a place it is! “

Yeah, I love winter. In the Mohave Desert. All I have to do after a winter storm here is dust off back porch furniture before sitting down enjoying the clear skies in my sleeveless T, shorts and flip flops with a cold drink in hand.

Capybara Crash-Up Cafe

haveaniceday.jpg
Have a nice day

Pupper waits for his young master to come home.


Monday came crashing in.

Owl wants to fix his friend's doo.

Old but funny: Dog loses at two-cup Monty and wants to change his mid.

Cat enjoys using his cat-toy to entertain the dog.

Meanwhile, this dog enjoys the cat-tree.

Dog helps his friend pass a fallen tree.

Lascivious kitten is suddenly overcome by modesty.

A methodical way to take the stairs.


On the other hand, there's the YOLO method.

It was kind of aggressive of PDT to specifically invite the women’s hockey team to the White House. It makes the athletes make a “political statement.”

He should just make a blanket invitation to all the athletes to come for a celebration of their achievement. Those who show up, enjoy an amazing opportunity. Those who choose to make it an anti Trump statement don’t get much of a stage. Be low key about it. Make it about the athletes. And congratulate them on being the best of the best in their discipline.

That question appears in a story about three nuns who die and arrive at the Pearly Gates. St. Peter greets them warmly:

"Faithful sisters! Your earthly service hastens your entry into the Kingdom. Where everyone else must answer three questions to gain entry, you only need to answer one."

St Peter looks to the first nun and asks:

"What is the first book of the Bible?"

"Genesis", the first nun responds.

Suddenly a choir of angels break into song, the Pearly Gates swing open, and the nun is swept in by a brilliant light.

As the choir fades out, St. Peter looks to the third nun and asks, "What were the first words Eve said to Adam?"

The third nun ponders and reflects on her lifetime of studying scriptures and Biblical teachings, and after several moments realizes that no where in all her years of research and prayer did Eve's first words to Adam ever become known to her. Exasperated, and defeated, especially after her colleagues were given softball questions, she looks up at St. Peter and blurts out:

"My, that's a hard one!"

Quick Hits

LOL: Close friend of both Jeffrey Epstein and Queer Starmer, "Prince of Darkness" Peter Mandelson, has been arrested on suspicion of "public misconduct." This is almost certainly regarding his passing of confidential government information about the UK preparing to bail out the British banks to Epstein, who no doubt used that information for profit.

And it probably includes the payments of over $90,000 Epstein made to Mandelson and his husband. What was that money for?

British police on Monday arrested Peter Mandelson, a former U.K. ambassador to the United States, in a misconduct probe stemming from his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein. It came days after a friendship with Epstein landed the former Prince Andrew in police custody.

Both men are suspected of improperly passing U.K. government information to the disgraced U.S. financier, and the high-profile British arrests are some of the most dramatic fallout from the trove of more than 3 million pages of Epstein-related documents released last month by the U.S. Justice Department.


In his dissent to Friday's tariff decision, Clarence Thomas ripped the anti-law majority.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas ripped the court's decision blocking President Donald Trump's use of an emergency law to impose sweeping tariffs on trading partners, calling it a fundamental misread of both the governing statute and the Constitution's separation of powers.

"As (Kavanaugh) explains, the Court's decision ... cannot be justified as a matter of statutory interpretation. Congress authorized the President to 'regulate ... importation,'" Thomas wrote in his dissent. "Throughout American history, the authority to 'regulate importation' has been understood to include the authority to impose duties on imports."

The court invalidated Trump's use of an emergency law to impose tariffs in a 6--3 decision Friday morning after weeks of Trump championing that the court should rule in his favor as part of his larger effort to boost the economy, jobs and bring down costs for Americans. Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito joined Justice Brett Kavanaugh in dissenting from the ruling, with Thomas also offering his own separate dissent.

The majority of the court ruled Friday that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president, even after declaring a national emergency, to impose tariffs -- and that Congress did not speak clearly enough to transfer its tariff-and-tax power to the executive branch.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) is a 1977 law that allows the president, after declaring a national emergency in response to foreign threats, to regulate or block certain economic transactions and property interests, such as by imposing sanctions.

"The president asserts the extraordinary power to unilaterally impose tariffs of unlimited amount, duration, and scope," Supreme Court Justice John Roberts wrote for the court. "In light of the breadth, history, and constitutional context of that asserted authority, he must identify clear congressional authorization to exercise it."

In his dissent, Thomas argued that nondelegation doctrine is a narrow constraint, saying a line is crossed only when Congress delegates "core" power to make rules triggering deprivations of "life, liberty, or property" -- not "from delegating other kinds of power," such as tariffs.

The nondelegation doctrine forbids Congress from delegating core legislative power to the president.

Alarmingly, the Court's two most reliable conservative justices may retire this summer.

At least so Josh Hammer speculates:

Justice Samuel Alito is 75 years old -- and will be 76 by the end of this term. Justice Clarence Thomas is 77 years old -- and will be 78 by term's end. Alito just celebrated 20 years of service on the high court, and Thomas would mark 35 years of service this October -- nice round numbers. Alito has a forthcoming book set for release this October, around the start of the next Supreme Court term. That isn't anywhere near dispositive -- Justice Amy Coney Barrett published a book last September, and Justice Neil Gorsuch has released two books since he was confirmed to the court in 2017 -- but it has certainly fed speculation.

Thomas and Alito are, by some order of magnitude, the two most principled conservative justices currently sitting on the high court. It stands to reason that they would like to be replaced by ideological fellow travelers -- something that likely requires a likeminded president and a likeminded U.S. Senate majority. As the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was very much an ideological fellow traveler, told Chris Wallace in a 2012 interview, "I would not like to be replaced by someone who immediately sets about undoing what I've tried to do for 25-26 years. I mean, I shouldn't have to tell you that, unless you think I'm a fool."


It's better that these old guys retire when the Senate is safely in Republican hands.

But I have no earthly idea where Trump will find their equal. So far he's appointed one libertarian (Gorsuch), one soft-handed establishment RINO (Kavanaugh), and one flaky AWFUL (Coney-Barrett).

Judge Aileen Cannon has barred the fake Special Counsel Jack Smith from releasing his fake report on the fake classified documents scandal, because he's not a duly authorized special counsel and has no right or power to issue reports.

She points out that it is wrongful for a "prosecutor" who was unable to obtain any indictments to release a report smearing the very people he was unable to indict.

A federal judge on Monday permanently barred the release of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into President Donald Trump's hoarding of classified documents that led to charges once seen as the most perilous of the four criminal cases the Republican faced.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, granted a request from the president to keep under wraps the report on an investigation alleging Trump stored sensitive documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after he left the White House following his first term and obstructed government efforts to get them back.

Smith and his team produced a two-volume report on the classified documents investigation and a separate probe into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election after he lost to Joe Biden. Both investigations produced indictments that were abandoned by Smith's team after Trump's November 2024 election win in light of longstanding Justice Department legal opinions that say sitting presidents cannot face federal prosecution.

Attorney General Pam Bondi had already determined that the report was "an internal deliberative communication that is privileged and confidential and should not be released" outside the Justice Department, according to court papers. The Trump administration has characterized Smith's investigation as politically motivated and said in recent court papers that the report belongs in the "dustbin of history."

Cannon's order, however, blocking the release also applies to Bondi's successors at the Justice Department. Cannon, who in 2024 dismissed the case after concluding that Smith was unlawfully appointed after multiple other favorable rulings for Trump, said the release of the report would present a "manifest injustice" to the president and his two co-defendants.

"Special Counsel Smith, acting without lawful authority, obtained an indictment in this action and initiated proceedings that resulted in a final order of dismissal of all charges," she wrote. "As a result, the former defendants in this case, like any other defendant in this situation, still enjoy the presumption of innocence held sacrosanct in our constitutional order."

What AP hides from you, but Julie Kelly reports, is that Jack Smith continued ignoring Aileen Cannon's ruling that he was not a duly appointed special counsel and kept using his non-existent authority to subpoena documents -- and write this report!

I am certain Judge Cannon's legitimate and provable allegations that Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team repeatedly violated her court order dismissing the documents case in July 2024 after finding Smith had been unconstitutionally appointed with get NONE of the same coverage as phony, baseless accusations of Trump DOJ violating court orders.

As I noted in the Halligan dismissal order and threats by at least one judge to hold her in contempt for continuing to sign her name as "US Attorney" in court filings, Jack Smith continued to represent himself as "Special Counsel Jack Smith" for MONTHS after Cannon removed him as special counsel in the documents case.

She called him out again today in an order prohibiting the release of Smith's "report" on the docs investigation, which Smith prepared after he was disqualified. Smith used discovery in the dismissed case to prepare the report and, along with AG Garland, tried to publish the document before Trump was inaugurated. (Cannon denied that stunt as well.)

Cannon: "Despite the Court's holding in July 2024 that 'the actions of Special Counsel Smith in connection with this proceeding must be set aside' due to his unconstitutional appointment Special Counsel Smith and his team went ahead for months, undeterred, preparing Volume II using discovery collected in connection with this proceeding and expending government funds in the process. Defendants learned of this continued work in December 2024 through media reports and then timely raised their objections to Special Counsel Smith--but he continued unabated, offering defendants only the courtesy of brief review under strict conditions, including forced deletion of discovery materials in the custody of the defense."

She continued. "To say this chronology represents, at a minimum, a concerning breach of the spirit of the Dismissal Order is an understatement, IF NOT AN OUTRIGHT VIOLATION OF IT." (Emphasis added.)

So will the media offer the same level of performative outrage about Smith's ACTUAL contempt of court conduct for MONTHS that it has offered on a near-daily basis about baseless allegations Trump DOJ prosecutors are intentionally defying court orders?


Hm, maybe we do have someone to replace Alito or Thomas with. Though the faggy RINO Senators would of course balk. They want someone with a better pedigree who will reliably vote in favor of the leftwing Regime.

On Oct 9, 2023 -- two days after Hamas' Oct 7 massacre in Israel -- the Muslim Democratic Club of New York put out a statement blaming Israel for the attack, saying they stood "in solidarity with the besieged Palestinian people"

Today, the founders of this group occupy top posts in City Hall under NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani

I've asked this before, but you all remember when the Democrat/soft-hand establishment wet themselves over Trump occasionally using profanity at rallies?

Well, it turns out that Leftists Once Again Believe None of the Things They Say They Believe. Because the moment they thought (incorrectly) that Profanity = Perceived Authenticity -- no, authenticity is authenticity, it just so happens that Trump's authentic self is given to profanity -- they started cursing like sailors.

Wait, sailors don't curse as much as AWFUL Wine-Mom Karens. Well, they started cursing like AWFUL Wine-Mom Karens.

This toad is the latest and greatest (in terms of girth):

She and Eric Fartwell are the two leading of the very unpopular, incompetent Democrat candidates for governor in California.

I haven't mentioned this before, because it seems wacky and unrealistic, but the two current leaders in the gubernatorial race are Republicans Steve Hilton and Chad Bianco are among the top three candidates. (Eric Fartwell slipped into second.)

Because California has a "jungle primary" in which all candidates compete in a single primary, it is possible that Hilton and Bianco take both slots for the general election campaign.

Posted by: Bulg at February 23, 2026 06:45 PM (77rzZ)

************

I had my second colonoscopy last month (after ten years). The first one had the gallon jug of not-so-great-tasting liquid, but it cleaned my innards out really well. This last one, which had the so-called new and improved solution, which did taste better, didn't do quite as good a job of cleaning me out, but the proctologist said it was good enough for him to do the colonoscopy.

I prefer the first way since I knew the night before that I was ready for the procedure.

26 So, the Supremes said Congress can't delegate its core powers...

But Article 3 : In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.

In 1934, Congress delegated the writing or Regulations for the conduct of Courts, to the Supreme Court.

Therefore, by the Precedent set in the Tariff ruling, all the Lower Court Rules which make things like broad injunctions, or even Contempt of Court, possible... are moot.

The DOJ should sue the Supremes.

That is supposed to be a feature of a parliamentary system, it allows quick swings of direction. It becomes a bug when you allow third parties to become common and powerful, because any election will require some minor fringe group to get more power than they deserve.

It was kind of aggressive of PDT to specifically invite the women’s hockey team to the White House. It makes the athletes make a “political statement.”

He should just make a blanket invitation to all the athletes to come for a celebration of their achievement. Those who show up, enjoy an amazing opportunity. Those who choose to make it an anti Trump statement don’t get much of a stage. Be low key about it. Make it about the athletes.

Drew Holden: Leftwing Media "Analysts" Are Baffled by the "Mysterious" One-Year Plunge in Crime.
Spoiler: It's Only a Mystery to Propagandists Who Won't Admit the Obvious

How did crime plunge so suddenly -- so "unexpectedly," if you will -- the moment Weekend at Biden's was shuffled out of the White House to be replaced by a law-and-order, deportation-minded president?

The leftwing media insists this is a giant mystery whose depths cannot be plumbed.

They're lying, Drew Holden reports.


Crime--particularly violent crime--is down dramatically over the last year. Cities like New York, Memphis, and Washington, D.C. where murders, carjacking, and theft plagued the public in the wake of COVID-19, were all found to have experienced double-digit decreases in violent crime. Experts, the legacy media, and many Democrats are scratching their heads. As a recent New York Times headline declared, "What's Behind the Staggering Drop in the Murder Rate? No One Knows for Sure."

Other outlets and commentators have been similarly befuddled. New York Magazine dubbed it "The Mysterious Plunge in America's Murder Rate." Experts "said it's too early to tell what is prompting the change," the Associated Press intoned; the Washington Post cited a liberal expert who cautioned that there was "no silver bullet" to make sense of the data. For TIME, the drop in violent crime "can be attributed to a kaleidoscope of factors, none of which can singularly or definitively account for the decline." CNN shrugged that "it's nearly impossible to zero in on any one reason" for the drop. "The bottom line: Experts aren't sure why violent crime continues to fall," Axios reported

Not until 21 paragraphs into the Times piece do the authors give us a hint about how it happened: experts "do not wholly discount" policing, particularly "the multipronged effort that many cities mounted against violence in the past few years, including hot-spot policing, summer jobs for youth, cognitive behavioral therapy and focused deterrence, an approach that calls for paying sustained attention to the small number of people at highest risk of committing violence."

In other words, violent crime is in freefall across the country thanks in large part to better, more targeted policing aimed at restoring law and order. The biggest threat to our renewed ability to combat crime might be a legacy media hamstrung by the baggage of prior anti-police animus.

Holden looks at the bright white evidence that apparently blinds the media from seeing the clues:

...

The Democratic mayor of Memphis, Tennessee--long among the most violent places in America--welcomed a federal task force to the city in September. Federal agents provided additional capacity for local and state law enforcement to bring the necessary force to bear to combat crime. As even the New York Times admitted, "to date, the task force has made more than 6,300 arrests, conducted more than 68,000 traffic stops and recovered 1,532 firearms... crime rates, which had already been declining, have dropped even more since Oct. 1: Murder and sexual assault are down nearly 42 percent, while aggravated assault is down about 35 percent."

Similarly, Baltimore, Maryland, saw a 50-year low in murders in 2025. City officials credit federal support, more aggressive hiring efforts, and a focus on arresting repeat violent criminal offenders as a key source of the decline.

Read the whole thing. In case after case, crime is down because, get this, cops started enforcing the law, usually with federal help.

Relatedly: The Somali pirates who fleeced this country for billions and billions of stolen booty are angry that their piracy has been slowed and are demanding... reparations.

You've got to be joking!

Somalis in MN are demanding reparations for "ICE trauma" while 81% of their households are sucking up government welfare?

So here we are. We give them a new life, handouts galore--food stamps (54%), Medicaid (73%), cash welfare (27%)--and now they want MORE from hardworking Americans?

Americans should demand reparation for the taxpayer dollars that were stolen from welfare and SNAP schemes.

In MN, that's a pretty sound argument. Not because it's right but because this kind of criminal abuse of the taxpayer and citizen has been wholeheartedly embraced (and skimmed) by those elected and/or in government office. It wouldn't make any sense NOT to demand reparations given the socioeconomic environment of their Petri dish.

Posted by: AnonyBotymousDrivel at February 23, 2026 05:53 PM (gLikB)

68 Easy answer.

The purpose of putting violent criminals in jail is 1) to intimidate others who might be violent to consider the chances of punishment and b) to take the criminals off the street before they commit other crimes.

If you take a criminal illegal off the street, it has the exact same impact - illegals who might commit crimes, don't, and the illegal is shipped back to their homes, hence can't commit more crimes.

Dude is too diminished to be able to confess the sins he has accumulated. There will be no public confession, certainly. He knew at all times he was committing grievous mortal sins, but he didn't care, and if he had confessed them, he would not have been absolved because he had no intention of not sinning again.

As a Catholic, I fear for his immortal soul. As a citizen, he can't pass fast enough. He will, as we all will, know the Truth. I tremble for myself, and I go to confession regularly. If he has any spark left, he has to know it's gonna be bad. What a miserable way to go, and I don't mean the cancer.

As it has been described to me, if you try to start a business in Somalia, all of your friends and relatives expect you to use any profits to support them, because. Eventually they will just steal your products for themselves. Therefore, almost nobody starts any businesses, so they are always in poverty.

128 Sucks about the cancer. Hopefully he confesses before it finishes the job. And hopefully that includes public confession for his sins as a public 'servant'. That might do him some good on his journey to the afterlife.

138 Yes I know I largely answered my Q with the second sentence. Seems a large fraction of them were committing or have family or friends that were committing fraud, plus the FNM probably told them ICE might deport them.

Guilty conscience plus media lying would cause some stress. They should sue the FNM for their stress.

Keir is going to feel pressure over Mandelson, again, but he'll probably keep on keeping on for awhile until Labour can get a good handle on a replacement leader.

149 Almost all cities were already decreasing in crime rate after a big post covid peak. It’s not because of the national guard or whatever, besides maybe DC where all activity decreased overall due to it. Trump gets no credit because he's not the cause.

We're seeing the gradual effects of ending leaded gasoline paying off. Also, ICE murder rate at all time high

Worse. All those who would be murderers are now in ICE getting the federal allowance to rape and kill immigrants and citizens. It's not prosecuted, so it doesn't reflect on crime.stats now.

Still about 6 times higher than the EU average. Y'all are still batshit even if you are slowly improving.

according to who? Anything the trump administration publishes is unreliable, because its from trump.

I wonder how much the population getting older is driving this trend. Crime is especially committed by young men, as that portion of the population declines it is expected that total crime will drop.

Correlation is not causation obviously, but it's interesting to know that alcohol consumption has also gone down in many places. I would wager that's at least one factor.

164 "The Somali pirates who fleeced this country for billions and billions of stolen booty are angry that their piracy has been slowed and are demanding... reparations."

I don't see why not. I mean, they have an absolute obligation to participate in jihad, and looting the infidel is part of jihad. The kuffar has to legitimate right to property (or life, for that matter) until they have formally accepted their lesser, dhimmi status.
Besides, interfering with jihad is classified as act of aggression, so claiming reparations is purely legitimate. It's really an act of kindness.

I agree mostly, but he did stretch his abilities in Forrest Gump at least.

I'd say he acted in Philadelphia, too but I only watched that once once and can't remember his performance at all.

Tom Hanks had that every-man type persona that people liked and made up for acting talent, like a Clark Gable. Jimmy Stewart, or John Wayne.

I'm sure they start each morning with prayer and bible study, then wake the kids and get them ready to meet the school bus. Afterwards they have to run to the market and begin making preparations for the family dinner. And of course the late afternoon includes meeting the returning school bus, and going over the kid's homework assignments and making sure permission slips for future field trips are signed. By the time they've cooked dinner, there's just no time to visit the White House.

Round them all up, and send them back to Somalia as slaves, wholly-owned by Somalicorp, an arm's-length corporate entity controlled by the White House. Treat them humanely, unless they fuck up. Give them menial labor jobs, according to their mentality. The really stupid ones, under 80 IQ, neuter them so they cannot reproduce. Ban the practice of islam, on pain of death. Let them know they can escape the slavery if they become literate, and embrace Christianity. Backsliders into islam get a bullet.

Donkey-Chompers: If You Thought My Shocking 21-Second Brain Glitch Followed by Drunk Kamala-Level Word Salad Made Me Look Stupid, Maybe The Real Problem Is With Your Stupid Brain, Stupid

sleptwithabrazillian.jpg

She says you're just so used to Trump firing off quick answers, almost as if he's thought about the questions before and so has a firm answer already in mind, that you just can't appreciate a World Class Mind such as hers taking 21 painful seconds to "um" and "uh" and "err" and "uhhh" her way before delivering an "answer" that sounds suspiciously like a stoner trying to bluff her way through an oral report about a book she never even checked out of the library.

If you need to review her attempt to show she's ready to be president, check out Gutfeld's recap.


She does not explain why she thinks that cowboys existed before horses, or what philosophical Imponderable she was attempting to conjure when she said that Venezuela was south of the equator.

Here's what Flake Titicaca said:

In the video, an emotional AOC, appearing to hold back tears, pushed back against critics who saw her faceplant in Munich, convinced she has no idea what she's talking about. Her defense? It's not her, it's you, who's the problem. "If you think that I don't understand foreign policy because out of hours of discourse about international affairs, I paused to think about one of the most sensitive geopolitical issues that currently exist on Earth, I'm afraid the issue is not my understanding, but rather the problem is perhaps you've gotten adjusted to a president that never thinks before he speaks."

Tosca Austen
@ToscaAusten

They say karma dishes out what we deserve. Is that true?

No matter how .@AOC spins her rant in Munich, it was a disaster.

She knows it. She is devastated.
She can't quit talking about it.
Her voice is hoarse from it.

Munich was her big chance to be the global liberal darling and prance on to '28 and she blew it.

Spin mode can't hide how she substituted foreign policy knowledge with theatrical melodrama.

To shade her humiliation, she ran into the arms of .@nytimes
for rescue and even THEY couldn't defend her.

That's how bad it was. Don't ever let her forget it.

One of the Australian conservative commentators suggested she did a lot of Cope Drinking over the weekend, resulting in a Kamala-Harris-like hangover hoarseness.

(I first wrote "horseness" but that's not due to her being drunk, that's just her genetics.)

Also note that her sad Simp Beard is on the bed snoring.

What a stateswoman.

If you can believe it, this e-girl thot is responding as e-girl thots do, sniping and bitching on Twitter.


Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
@AOC

Feb 21

My having been a waitress makes me 1000x more qualified to govern on behalf of working people than whatever lifelong politician nonsense you've swung from your whole career.

Why should working people vote for you if this is what you think of them?


Reminder: AOC was never "working class." Her father was an architect and she grew up in the leafy, tony NYC suburb of Westchester.

Kevin Bass
@kevinnbass

Feb 21

Your father was an architect. You were a privileged DEI admit to Boston University. You worked as a waitress in your 20s. You made it in politics because you look good on camera. Everything you have has been handed to you. You have no understanding of the working class.

Cristiona
@Cristiona

12m

Where did you go to college? Where did you grow up? What did your parents do?

Rich kids often have low wage jobs, because their parents pay for everything. You have no idea what it means to be working class you cosplayer.

There's a concept I heard of years ago called "genteel poverty." Children of the wealthy who have dreams of working at high-status jobs, but find those high-status jobs elusive, often work as servers and waitresses. This, in their class, is not considered low-class; it's just slumming until the dream job comes along. Note all the poets and actors working in the service industry.

They refuse to take more serious-but-unglamorous jobs like insurance or office work because those jobs would in fact reduce their status. Those jobs aren't for footloose dreamers waiting for their big break; those jobs indicate that someone has accepted her reduction in social status and is now a lowly member of the mid-level managerial/clerical class.

If you're a waitress, you're an undiscovered superstar just waiting for your big shot; but if you take a job at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, you're just a car rental agent.

Donkey-Chompers' stint as a waitress is not evidence of her "working class" background but her real background as a child of privilege with no actual talent to sell in the job market and a snobby attitude towards the real work that most people do.

Teaching yourself how to accept $10 bills by pushing your (sus) breasts together and taking it out of a patron's hand is not preparation for the presidency.

Polling showed that the more that Hillary campaigned, the more her numbers went down.

Kamala showed the exact same phenomenon.

With Biden, they didn't even need polling numbers. They knew that hiding him in the basement was their only possible "communications" strategy.

Imagine dealing with her afterwards, when she still can't accept that the PR disaster was her doing, and believes that a video telling her side of the story (other people are 100% to blame) is a good idea. Must be hell on earth to be around her.

This is what happens when for years nobody asks a serious question or even attempts to understand what your real views on the issues are. Even the more devious Democrats get to step two by memorizing some biased political garbage. But the minute they are either confronted with irrefutable facts, or they are forced to make an intelligent, cogent argument they fail like Joe Biden’s diaper.

I think, and I could be wrong, but a lot of Congressional staffers are hired out of a pool. Yea, some are ideological clones, but many, especially at low, entry level positions are just there to wipe asses.

Worst women bosses I ever had was in the Army. Battery commander was a bitter, sullen dyke who clearly hated being in the Army. The other was a pudgy Puerto Rican midwit who lucked into the E-5 slot and ran our Battalion Aid Station, badly. Doubt she ever passed a PT test, and she hated me and my fellow male medics.

Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at February 23, 2026 05:13 PM (gVUi7)

I had a woman supervisor at a consulting job once. She was pretty nice, worked at a division of an mortgage company that was supposed to be given a record of customers wanting to refinance so her team could call them up and steal them back. But the data for her team to work on was mysteriously missing elements so she had to come in on saturdays and by hand compare her list with the records. Turned out they had 2 IT departments that hated each other so their IT department had a screen reading program in a PC database that was buggy so many lines were rejected due to format errors. The rejects were saved in a separate table that when I showed her she was so happy to have since she could get almost all the missing records just from them. I did ask why they didn't fix her input program OR get records from the other IT department and she rolled her eyes in disgust. A nice boss for her team, they all liked her.

You want masculinity?

Go get your teeth knocked out while you score the winning goal in overtime in the Men's Olympic Hockey Gold Medal game (with "Freebird" playing), then get drunk in the locker room with the head of the FBI on cheap Mexican beer, while singing all the words to Toby Keith's "Courtesy of the Red White and Blue" and then while still drunk the President calls to invite you to the State of the Union address in two days and without pause you say "yes."

THAT is masculinity.

293 If it wasn't for Riley pulling her through since college days, the woman would be hidden within some Lefty think tank.

Hidden Riley is a junior Doug Emhoff who the Biden Administration used to spearhead the National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism, 'convening' Jewish leaders at the White House. Emhoff also hosted events, including Passover celebrations at the Vice President's Residence, and manage staff and activities for his office and hers.

He advocated for gender equality, worked to support women in leadership and modeled the role of a supportive spouse. Like behind the scenes Riley.

It left time for Kamala's border czar assignment. Remember her 1st official 'overseas' trip as Vice President, was to Guatemala and Mexico in June 2021? Reportedly, she focused on addressing the root causes of migration - delivering a "do not come" message" to potential migrants - and on diplomatic, long-term solutions.

Obviously, failure. As will AOC be without Riley nearby.

Her mother always told her she was smart, and not a retard. Her college professors told her she was smart, and not a retard, when they were awarding her A's for her oral skills. And then the Party casting directors like Cenk Uygur and Saikat Chakrabarti told her she was smart, and not a retard, after they turned her out and made her a Congresswoman - again, based on her oral skills.

She cut that video approximately one hour after she figured out that everyone she ever knew fuckin' lied to her... hence her panicky look.

After Killing of Top Narcoterrorist In Military Raid, Cartels Engage In Widespread Violence and Arson Across Mexico

Mexican police, with the assistance of US intelligence, killed a narcoterrorist during a raid.

They drug terrorists retaliated by killing a mayor and setting Mexico ablaze.

Major drug lord 'El Mencho' killed in Mexican military operation with US intelligence support

Nemesio Oseguera's death triggers widespread cartel violence across Mexico as armed groups block highways and burn vehicles


Cartel leader's death sparks violence in Mexico, US embassy issues shelter-in-place order


Major Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as "El Mencho," was killed in a military operation Sunday morning, the country's Defense Department announced, marking one of Mexico's most significant blows to organized crime amid pressure from President Donald Trump to intensify the crackdown on drug cartels.

The announcement came as government officials warned of clashes in Jalisco state and widespread criminal activity across the country, prompting the U.S. Embassy in Mexico to issue shelter-in-place advisories for multiple states.

On Sunday, Mexican troops reportedly conducted operations in Tapalpa, Jalisco, targeting Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, a former police officer who became the elusive leader of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG), a major supplier of fentanyl to the United States.

Known as "El Mencho," Oseguera Cervantes carried a $15 million U.S. bounty and rose to power following the arrest of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the former head of the Sinaloa Cartel. Over the past 15 years, CJNG has grown from a local criminal group into a global trafficking organization operating out of its stronghold in Jalisco.

...

The Mexican Defense Department said the operation was conducted as part of bilateral coordination and cooperation with the U.S., whose authorities provided complementary intelligence that contributed to Oseguera Cervantes' capture.

...

During the capture, the CJNG ringleader became wounded and died en route to Mexico City, the Defense Department said.

Four others were reportedly killed at the scene of a shootout between Mexican troops and criminal suspects in Jalisco, with Oseguera Cervantes among three additional individuals who were wounded and later died.

Authorities said they detained two other members of the criminal organization and seized a range of weaponry, including armored vehicles and "rocket launchers capable of downing aircraft and destroying armored vehicles."


...

Widespread criminal activity has been reported in Jalisco, the cartel's stronghold, as well as in northern regions that serve as key border and transit corridors for the organization.

The Security Cabinet of the Government of Mexico noted that multiple buildings were reportedly damaged during the "violent incidents," including roughly 20 branches of Banco del Bienestar, a state-run banking institution.

At least 21 highways remain blocked, with authorities reporting that five have already been reopened.

Photos showed numerous roadblocks and burning vehicles, with dark smoke rising into the sky, across the country -- tactics officials say cartels often use to slow or block military operations.

...

"We remain in Code Red. We reiterate the recommendation to avoid leaving your homes. The clashes are occurring in several federal entities," Jalisco state Governor Pablo Lemus Navarro added.


...

The operation against Oseguera follows sustained pressure from the Trump administration on President Claudia Sheinbaum's government, urging Mexico to step up its fight against drug trafficking amid threats of potential U.S. intervention.

"There is absolute coordination with the governments of all states; we must remain informed and calm," Sheinbaum said on Sunday. "In the vast majority of the national territory, activities are proceeding with complete normality."


The president of Mexico was installed into office by the narcoterrorists. She is both an extreme leftist, an open borders (with the US) extremist, and a catspaw of the cartels.

Cartel violence is being allowed in Mexico because President Claudia Sheinbaum works for the Cartel

A Senator from Mexico went on Fox News and exposed it all

* The President of Mexico works for the Cartels
* She was funded by money from the cartels
* It's not just the President, there are an entire group of Mexico politicians labeled the "arco politicians"
* Mexico is a "Narco state"
* Mexicans are afraid of the alliance between the Mexican government and the cartels
* The Morena (political party) is financed by the cartels, that's how they get elected
* Once they get elected the deal is for the Mexican government to then protect the cartels
* The President of Mexico Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo doesn't want this information getting out
* Mexicans and the Politicians who are no paid off by the cartels want Donald Trump to help with the cartels

The Mexico Senator exposing all this says she is now being threatened with prison for speaking out "The President has threatened me to proceed against me with criminal prosecution to get me out of the Senate and get me in jail just because I told you in this space in Fox News"

And now the assassination of Uruapan Mayor Carlos Manzo, an own cartel critic...

The cartel runs the Mexican government

She says that she will not join America in taking action against the cartels burning Mexico to the ground because drug terrorists have "human rights."

Trump has repeatedly offered her US help in confronting the cartels, and she has always insisted that they not be touched. Because she's on their payroll.

Meanwhile:



That's not an idle claim. "El Mencho" was in fact the beneficiary of San Francisco's Sanctuary City policy. Dianne Feinstein gave him a helping hand when he needed one:


Puerto Vallarta is now the Paris of the West, and I don't mean that in a good way.


More destruction.

Our Communist Enemies to the North are promoting travel to Mexico over travel to America, calling Mexico "safer." I guess that depends on the city, to be honest.

8 (The Mexican government) hath been, during the whole time of our connection with it, the contemptible sport and victim of successive military revolutions, and hath continually exhibited every characteristic of a weak, corrupt, and tyrranical government.

These, and other grievances, were patiently borne by the people of Texas, untill they reached that point at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue. We then took up arms in defence of the national constitution. We appealed to our Mexican brethren for assistance. Our appeal has been made in vain. Though months have elapsed, no sympathetic response has yet been heard from the Interior.

We are, therefore, forced to the melancholy conclusion, that the Mexican people have acquiesced in the destruction of their liberty, and the substitution therfor of a military government; that they are unfit to be free, and incapable of self government.

The necessity of self-preservation, therefore, now decrees our eternal political separation.

Her security chief, Omar Garcia Harfuch seems to be onboard with the US involvement in the war against the Cartels and he seems to be directing things on the Mexican end

Schienbaum could have been given the same options as Delcy Rodriguez in Venezuela: take our help to get out from under your cartels.

42 I saw a dumb hot take on the "male loneliness epidemic"

The argument was that men are lonely because of rigid gender norms and toxic masculinity.

So break this down then, the argument is that men are lonely in 2026 because in 2026 we have more rigid gender norms and a more traditional form of masculinity then we did historically.

Really? REALLY?

And this is a pattern I see with leftwing hot takes on every new problem. Things are worse now, you see, because we've moved right on cultural issues. Which is...insane.

59 Over a decade ago I told my dim-witted co-worker, marrying her bro-in-law! (both divorced and she was proud to only date that family! I can only imagine those Thanksgiving meals), not to go to Mexico on her honeymoon. She went anyway. Also believes, in spite if me, that purses sold on NYC streets are real! I could write a novel about the stupidiy surrounding me in this job. She said it was safe at the resort, guarded by men with guns. Ok!

I went to Mexico twice: once in college on spring break (Kino Bay, with two fellow nursing classmates and their brothers). Had a blast. Had enough sense not to drink the water or hang out with the people outside the condo.

In 1981 we went briefly over the border to Tijuana with our toddler son and a friend of my husband's from San Diego. I know Tijuana is not the best place to introduce anyone to Mexico, my dude said never again. Our blonde son would frequently be mobbed by people wanting to touch his hair. The taxi also did not have brakes, to add to the adventure.

While I am sure Mexico is beautiful, based on my college trip, I would not take the chance now and be stuck there as some Americans are.

The president of Mexico is a fool.

62 according to google:

El Mencho meaning
Born as Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes later took the name Nemesio, reportedly in honour of his godfather, whose identity remains unknown. His name was eventually shortened to the alias “El Mencho", a nickname that has no clearly defined meaning and does not have a direct translation.

79 This situation with the cartels reminds me of the north coast of Africa, Algiers to Morocco basically, for around 300 years. For centuries, Muslims raided from there to take slaves from everyone, including each other, but as far north as Ireland. Everyone in Europe and Mediterranean had the same reaction: someone has to stop this.

But for centuries, there was always something else to do and something intervened and well, to be honest, some people in Europe were getting rich off this slave trading and didn't really want it to stop. People with a lot of power and money.

So while everyone knew something had to be done, nothing was done until the mid 19th century when finally a coalition of basically everyone got together and stomped a mud hole into the entire area and they were silent and cowering for about 100 years.

That's how I see this Mexico and South America situation with the drugs. Someone is finally doing something about it, after a long time of going "someone ought to do something".

If they haven't canceled the World Cup in the United States with the current situation, I doubt they'll do it in Mexico.

The US caused this. The Jalisco cartel is the cartel that is owned by the CIA. unfortunately my compatriots aren´t seeing the big picture yet.

Suddenly, after all this time they get the leader. Really? Out of the blue, after all this time. Today, this week, really?
Release all the files. Stop trying to distract.

Seems like the same chaos the US CIA has done to other countries. These cartel have American military guns, armored vehicles, anti air and drone weapons. I wonder who sold it to them?

This is not about destroying cartels, this is about taking them over. Despite her rhetoric president Claudia Sheinbaum is a you know who's asset.

Glad we are bombing Venezuelan ships because there clearly isn’t a cartel problem in Mexico….

3 min. Hang in to the end, sound improves as he gets worked up, and he ends with "Ancient Australian proverb: fuck off we're full!"


Australian nationalist activist Thomas Sewell has blasted the corporate media in a fiery interview

Mr Sewell, 32, appeared at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday charged with “offensive behaviour” over the October 2024 rally where he and a group of about 30 then-National Socialist Network activists held a banner saying “fuck off, we’re full”

He looks like a bona fide neo nazi, but I gotta say, this should not surprise -- the Left has resurrected communism as their stated goal while painting the nazis as their main enemy. Nationalists are now claiming that banner mostly because they are against the internationalist anti-free market, anti-white bolshies.

Yes and no, almost everyone from Mexico knows someone or is someone who works for the cartel at least part of the time. Estimates are 1 in 10 Mexicans do so high likelihood of family members, friends, and acquaintances being involved at one level of operations or another. Money laundering through legitimate enterprises is one the big ones causing many to have cartel contacts.

You can remove the top leadership fairly easily but removing the ingrained corrupted institutions like the police, courts, businesses, politicians, etc. is the work of decades to fix. Mexico took 40-45 years to get to this point and fixing it is likely to take about as long.

Nobody carpet bombs anymore. Planes and drones and missiles and artillery can drop a shell through a window frame anywhere within range. Or farther, planes and helis in Ukraine intentionally pitch up on their tails a bit as they fire to get more distance at need.

Oh not the cartels, just modern militaries.

137 The Cartels don't just own the Mexican Government; they clearly also own the Democrat Party in the US. It's why the Dems have adopted all these bonkers positions regarding illegal aliens, the border, and drugs. Once you realize that the Dems' real clients are the Cartels, all of their "crazy" positions appear to be quite rational. In fact, they are dictated to the Dems by the Cartels.

If you disagree with me, ask yourself why the Cartels' influence of politicians would stop at the border, especially when so much of their revenue comes from the US?

148 When major cartel players are murdered, it's usually because a rival cartel wanted him dead. Even if it's the government that did the killing.

A government (or quasi-government) paramilitary group took the death shots against Pablo Escobar, but that was only after months of rival cartels ratting him out, threatening and killing some of his henchmen, etc. There may even be some controversy as to exactly who it was that killed him.

Sheinbaum had a choice. Either we take him out, or you do with our assistance. And rest assured, we didn’t send a second string. An ODA was involved.

What people fail to understand is there is an increasingly blurry line between the cartels and terrorist groups. CJNG, in particular, has been gaining weapons of increased sophistication including, if rumor is to be believed, Chinese and Iranian MANPADS. That’s in addition to RPG’s and the alphabet of automatic and crew served weapons.

There is no way we are going to, nor should we stand for terrorist groups on our border to continue asymmetric operations with sophisticated weaponry.

And we’re not.

Posted by: Blonde Morticia at February 23, 2026 04:13 PM (Nh98F)

It is not an either or situation. It is most likely a political power situation with Schienbaum trying to balance out the various power blocks that want their way or her death.
The difference here is that Trump really wants to get rid of the Cartels and their opium war against the US, and is happy if Schienbaum would spearhead the Mexican end of things in return for his support.
She may not be up to the task, since there are a lot of player who have their own needs that can't be allowed to override the main goal of surviving.

Oil and minerals institutionalized thievery and corruption in the Mexican elite for at least the last century. Add in the various Marxists, soft and hard, foreign meddling (turn of the century was Japan, now it is China a century later), generational resentment of El Norte, and the relative impoverishment of Indians in the South, have stirred up a toxic brew.

Mexico had and has rotten ten percent of elites that live life on easy mode while the rest suffer and that makes it easy for the Mexican elite to simply make deals with the cartels in exchange for easy money. All of this creates a parallel criminal shadow government behind the public face of the titular government.

the country that used to use more drugs than any other was China during the Opium wars, which was a political move by the British to destroy a competitor in the far east. Fentanyl and cocaine are being shipped in to the US by cartels, and the profits go to Asia and whoever is backing the cartels and the growers. It is destroying the US. Money laundering is a huge element in this, because the problem with holding millions in cash is that all your employees will steal. The banks are involved, and Trump wants it stopped. Treasury is the most likely place to hold all the proofs of transfers.
I don't think Trump wants the heavens to fall, but he does want justice, and he may decide he doesn't care so much about the heavens after all.

Not saying we shouldn't, but are you prepared for the Zombie Apocalypse when a whole bunch of life-long addicts are deprived of a flow of cheap drugs?

And by addicts, I mean those addicted to having huge sums of money flowing to them in the Narcotics Industrial Complex.

262 Tripoli was 1801-05. The Brits and French were involved in sinking the Franco Spanish fleets and invading Austria for a considerable time afterward. I'm sure post Waterloo they arranged the situation there as they saw fit.

Yeah it was one of the many minor hits on the Muslims because of their attacking ships, but then they started up against after a few years. It was after the Napoleonic wars that the coalition came in and mopped up, utterly ending the entire operation. Muslims were never again a force in the Mediterranean, the slave raids ended.

264 North America is a fucking shitshow.

Above the U.S.A., there is a country full of Muslims, Indians, Communists and fags in love with socialism and "mercy" killing people.

Below the U.S.A., there is a country run by fucking narco-terrorists who all hate the U.S.A. and want to destroy it by uncontrolled drugs, violence and illegal alien invasion into the U.S.A.

And within the USA, over the past 2 decades we have been taken over by Muslims, Indians, illegal aliens, Mexicans and fags, all of whom hate the United States and are working together with most of the U.S. government -- who also hate the United States -- to commit mass fraud, violence and murder of U.S. citizens in an effort to destroy the country from within.

What a fucking shitshow...

Mamdani Calls Upon New Yorkers to Do the Jobs the Government Just Can't Do -- Shoveling Snow;
He Says All Applicants Must Show ID Before Shoveling Snow

Wait, is he saying that black and brown people aren't allowed to shovel snow? And married women?

Because I have been repeatedly told that black and brown people (and married women) don't have ID and don't know how to get ID.

Should we crowdfund an employment discrimination campaign against NYC?

Mamdani is begging for cheap labor to shovel snow because his Theater Kid Incompetence was revealed when he allowed the late January snow to stick around in huge four-foot piles of snow, garbage, and rat feces for a month.

But he says you need to bring ID.

Breaking:

Zohran Mamdani can't afford any more city employees so he's giving citizens the " Opportunity " To work for half the city worker rate and without the benefits. But only if they bring 3 forms of ID. You need that to shovel snow. Just not to vote.

Florida doesn't require ID to shovel snow. So Mamdani is lying when he says he's forced to require ID by "federal law."

this might be a concession with the unions. Lawmakers can hire non-Union labor, but they're going to make it as hard as possible.

The right to vote, which is crucial to the functioning of our democracy, and in which we have a history of trying to suppress certain people from voting, is treated differently than getting a job shoveling snow?

93 The Lump snapped to yesterday and ranted about the NYC Socialists protecting their butts by demanding specific ID for payments for snow shoveling.
---
In NYC, individuals hired for snow shoveling who earn over $400 in a year are generally considered self-employed, making them liable for taxes, and potentially receiving a 1099-NEC or 1099-MISC. Property owners in NYC are responsible for clearing sidewalks, and hiring contractors is common.

However, the Department of Sanitation (DSNY) hires emergency snow shovelers, paying roughly $19.41 per hour (up to $28.71 for overtime). These positions are often treated as temporary employment, which may differ from private contractor 1099 arrangements.

Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills have no trouble recruiting a small army to clear the stadium seats of lake-effect snow before a game. They pay the people and feed them and I assume provide beer on the sly.

It takes Big trucks and somewhere to dump it to remove large amounts of snow... trucks these employees won't have the correct license and permits to drive.

128 Headline (El Pais):

"New York discovers the rat-killing effect of extreme cold"


Excerpt:

"The predominant species in the city, Rattus norvegicus, the brown or Norway rat, does not hibernate, but this year it has had to retreat to its burrows, forced into hiding by the cold and the reduction of waste in the crust of snow, ice, and grime that covers, like a rusty mountain, the gigantic garbage bags that are put out on the sidewalks every afternoon,"

Me: Progress!

Same as in NYC and pretty much every major city. The city plows the public streets. The sidewalks are the responsibility of the property owners. So the owners either shovel it themselves, or (more likely) hire someone to do it. Almost all residential buildings have a super or "handyman" who takes care of maintaining the front, sidewalk, garbage, etc. Rich NYC residents ain't shoveling their own snow.

Yup. But also, we regularly shovel for other neighbors who are seniors or out of town. I might do two neighbors' walks one storm, then the next storm the guy across the street (if he's not at his cabin) uses his snowblower to do everyone's walk on both sides of the block (except for my next-door neighbors - I have no idea what they did to piss him off, but that's their problem, lol).

Mamdani explained details of the policy during a media conference on Feb. 22, calling it a longstanding program and requirement that allows New Yorkers to get paid for work during an emergency. He noted federal law requires employers, including New York City, to verify IDs in order to pay employees.

"We are not allowed to just cut checks to individuals for their work," he said, adding "these are the policies that we’ve had in place, but I understand that for many this is the first time they've heard about it."

Yet Another Would-Be Trump Assassin, Programmed to Kill By the Traitor Left

As you certainly know, a 21-year-old lunatic from NC snuck into Mar-a-Lago by jumping on the back of a truck that had been cleared to pass through the gate. He carried a shotgun and a can of gasoline.

Unknown to this loser -- but easily discoverable by anyone with a sane mind -- Trump was not at Mar-a-Lago over the weekend, but at the White House doing events.

Secret Service and security demanded the man drop the gun and the gas. He dropped the gas, but then raised the shotgun to his shoulder, preparing to fire.

He was killed.

But he was programmed to kill by Democrats' (and Thomas Massie's and MTG's) insane conspiracy theories that Donald Trump is a Secret Epstein Pedo.

The left wing is claiming the kid was a Trump supporter. Obviously, he was not. You don't try to kill a man you "support."

His family says they're "big Trump supporters," but that's not the same as this deranged killer being a supporter. The left believes that Trump support, unlike IQ, is genetically determined.

Immediately after the left programmed this robot to kill Trump, All-Purpose Expert Tom Nichols writes a piece, which Vanity Billionaire Press magazine The Atlantic gladly publishes, calls Trump a Nazi threat to the existence of the United States.

Thus, again, implicitly making the case that another couple of assassins should try to kill Trump. I'd say that publishing this just after one assassin tried to kill him makes this close to an explicit incitement to political murder.


Sean Davis

This is a classic example of assassination prep, the purpose of which is to implicitly encourage and justify terroristic violence against half the country.

Personally, I believe that Tom Nichols is an intolerable threat to the country.

#AssassinsWanted, as Craig Kilbourne would "joke."

By the way, here's the owner of The Atlantic, Steve Jobs' unattractive AWFUL widow, cavorting with Ghislaine Maxwell.


Related: The latest trans shooter was flagged by Open AI for his many posts discussing gun violence.

They chose not to report him to the police.

I wonder why the trans killer got this kind of benefit of the doubt from supposedly anti-violence campaigners. It's almost as if some kinds of violence are privileged.

So here's my question, Ace: how do we ensure that assholes like Nichols and propaganda rags like The Atlantic suffer consequences for incitement?

Shame obviously doesn't work. Boycotting doesn't work. Neither Trump nor the DoJ / IRS will go after these traitors and drive them to bankruptcy and suicide. So how do we get the message across that this is unacceptable?

I know how I would handle it. But most of the country isn't where I am.

they've spent decades focusing on the politics of hate and fear, spewing violent rhetoric and constant ragebait, and calling everything a "war". And they’ve been told guns are how problems are solved.

Maga meathead who finally saw the light. Its always a supporter who tries to off him. What does that say? The issue is, he is right lol. There is a government conspiracy to cover up the files and there has been for years. He realized he has been lied too and this was his response.

So many Europeans say shit like "you all need to do something"; but we know what they mean is this kind of thing. These people tend to get murked right off the bat. Not many Americans are willing to "do something" to just get shot a few seconds in.

Politicians don’t really run the country anyway. Larry Fink, Peter Thiel and Ellison are the ones in charge. And even better, they dont have secret service protection.

It's not overdrawn at all. Virtually everyone I know professionally who isn't explicitly right wing (which is, maybe, 2% of them, with the understanding that we're all in hiding) is completely obsessed with the GOP being "nazis". There hasn't been a week in YEARS where people haven't brought it up. It's the fundamental, central thing their entire world view is built around.

136 As far as I'm concerned the Nazi/Third Reich well is dry after having been overdrawn by Democrats for decades.

Longer than most people think: it was first used against Thomas Dewey in 1948.

Given that, I don't think it's actually overdrawn. Leftist politics in the left is increasingly associated with mentally ill women, and the peculiarities of that specific class of people. And those types can't get enough of Trump demonization. It's why Katie Porter is a thing, to the extent that she is.

"Kelley argues forcefully that the Nazi criminals were not insane aberrations but products of a long-cultivated German ideological tradition stretching back decades before Hitler.

"His point is blunt: Hitler did not create the ideology. He simply radicalized and weaponized what was already latent in German culture and used it to seize emotional control of a population already primed for it.

"Kelley’s most transferable insight was his neuroscientific observation that a population kept in sustained emotional arousal; fear, grievance, tribal solidarity, loses its capacity for cortical (rational, evaluative) thinking and becomes susceptible to manipulation. The COVID-19 period represented perhaps the most complete natural experiment in this dynamic in American political history.

The only thing conspiracy tards care about is propagating their conspiracy theories. Transparency and new information do not cause them to reevaluate their beliefs, rather it just drives them further off the deep end.

They were socialists, it is right there in the name. Nazis would easily induct defeated communist thugs into the gangs once their power structure was broken up, since ideologically they were aligned they just needed to learn the new slogans.

His main discussion is that this is not isolated to evil Arian Germans, it is universal, and if the US decided to copy these behaviors "to be strong" we will wind up committing the same atrocities in the world as the Nazis.

264 The Nazis were the first to employ scientific methods to propagandize the population. Radio was a new technology at the time. They produced very low price “people’s radios” that were distributed widely. Everyone could be on the same page throughout the country and listen to der fuehrer in real time. It was also a very “feminized” rhetoric insofar they recognized you had to have the womenfolk on board for any successful social movement. Orwell also noted this phenomenon - “it was always the women who were the most vicious” etc.

Between the communist “Institute for Social Research” picking up sticks and moving to Columbia university in the 1930s - and the USG importing ex-nazis by the thousands in the 1950s as part of “Operation Paperclip” the stage was set for America to get fucked with, hard. Most people are familiar maybe, with Rocket Scientists being brought over.

Less well known were top nazi propaganda specialists and chemical warfare specialists. The latter do much to explain the open air insane asylum feng shui that the US started to resemble starting in the 1960s.

270 They are already saying that now, although they don't admit the ideas they like are actually Nazi ideas. They love the one-party fascism, secret police hunting political opponents, virulent suppression of speech, and just shooting people you don't like. They LOVE all that stuff. They just don't admit it's all Nazi (and commie) shit.

271 Wasn't Corporal Hitler gassed in WWI while functioning as a courier? Maybe somebody should have treated him for that condition.
Posted by: Rev. Wishbone at February 23, 2026 02:18 PM (gVUi7)

There is a theory that the doctor who treated Hitler for 'hysterical blindness' saw him as an exceptionally suggestible persona and implanted several post-hypnotic suggestions which, in time, allowed him to blossom as a public speaker and engage in a program of Jewish extermination.

277 Supposedly (I've seen it reported but I haven't actually seen the ads) they've started running ads in Ukraine touting the importation of black men and letting the women know that it's time to make some brown babies.

Lotus Eaters showed the ads, or maybe it was Carl's own video. Either way, I saw the ads and they look like a post-2014 American advertisement with white women making out with sub-Saharan Africans.

The only difference is usually it's a black woman with a white guy in the American ads.

and some of them are gonna turn out bad anyway. Some will return to the fold after a moment of crazy. Some may take longer, maybe after you die. Some never will come back home.

My strategy was to nibble small spaces adjacent to each other to form a line that ran almost top--to-bottom or side-to-side, and then repeat the process across the other axis. Since 75% cleared the screen and you get a big bonus for each % above 75%, there were times I'd get greedy and try to contain the storm (or whatever it was) into a series of smaller and smaller boxes, but those sparks were always on your tail so you had to keep it moving!

They all were in central and eastern Europe. Jewish persecution was one thing everyone could agree on, moderates as well as radicals. In the war the Germans were able to recruit tons of factions in occupied nations from the more adamant anti Jewish groups to join them in the Holocaust. The SS got large numbers of foreign recruits from all over Europe as well, including Scandinavia.

306 I crushed a guy once, in a rugby game. I laid a shoulder into an outside center from the Green Mountain team, and I hit him straight on... my jaw got hurt, along with a couple ribs, and my right shoulder got fuckin' destroyed.

But he was laid out unconscious on the turf and missed most of a season afterward. I always felt bad about that, since I didn't mean to hurt that guy so much. It was an accident. I was just running at him as fast as I could.

It's just a game. Nobody's supposed to be busting a fish on the field.

But in politics, the goal is always to destroy your opponent. Not to beat him, but kill him. The whole thing is repulsive.

Yeah this is important to understand and remember. Your preacher might be giving you the perfect outline for how to raise good kids. You may have read all the right books. You might watch youtube channels on how to protect your children. You can home school them and teach them all they need to know...

and some of them are gonna turn out bad anyway. Some will return to the fold after a moment of crazy. Some may take longer, maybe after you die. Some never will come back home.

Its better than NOT teaching them and protecting them, and most will turn out. But not all. And its not your fault.

Thank you, Christopher. This is comforting for those of us going through this, because it happens far more than you know to believers in God who tried to do the right thing. Pray for the first two outcomes, and ask for God's mercy in the last, that He should pluck them out of their sin.

Gavin Newsom to Black Democrats: I'm Like You, I'm Low IQ and I Can't Read

That's one way to ingratiate yourself to an audience.

Matt Van Swol
@mattvanswol

Why does Gavin Newsom think the best way to relate to Black people is by touting how stupid he is and that he can't read?

Isn't that insanely racist?

Hans Mahncke
@HansMahncke

What makes it even worse is the way he deliberately slows his speech, as if he assumes the audience is incapable of keeping up.


Democrats, the Great Friends of the Black Race, routinely tell their friends that they're stupid and don't know basic things.

She writes about that study, which shows that white liberals "dumb down" their speech for blacks whereas white conservatives speak the same way to blacks and whites, here.

It's what a 2018 Yale study found: There is a difference between how white liberals and white conservatives talk when they talk to Black people. And that difference is this: When white liberals talk to Black people, they do something called "presenting lower competence." They literally dumb down their vocabulary, using fewer syllable words than they do when they talk to white people. And white conservatives don't do this.

"A new study suggests that white Americans who hold liberal socio-political views use language that makes them appear less competent in an effort to get along with racial minorities," the study found. "According to new research by Cydney Dupree, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Yale SOM, white liberals tend to downplay their own verbal competence in exchanges with racial minorities, compared to how other white Americans act in such exchanges."

Researchers found that Democratic candidates use fewer multi-syllable words in speeches delivered to minority audiences than they use in speeches delivered to white audiences--whereas the difference wasn't statistically significant in speeches by Republican candidates. The pattern held over decades of speeches that the researches studied.

Hilariously, they found that you have to literally tell a white progressive that a Black person is very smart ahead of time to get them to cut this out: "Initial data from follow-up studies suggest that describing a black person as highly intelligent, thus reversing the stereotype, or as already highly motivated to get along with whites, thus removing the need to prove goodwill, can reduce the likelihood that a white person will downplay their competence in their interactions with the black person."

The study proved not just that individual white progressives are racist, but that there is a system-wide failure to view Blacks as equals that is endemic to the progressive movement. Their entire woke worldview, which posits that minorities are oppressed and therein lies their virtue, is in essence racism disguised (from themselves as well as others) in an aura of self-righteousness. After all, what could be more racist than the patronizing view that Black people need to be protected from our big vocabularies?

Remember, Gavin Newsom just discovered he's dyslexic and that dyslexia will serve the same function as Joe Biden's Elder-Age Suddenly Discovered Childhood Stutter.

Hello! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I did, for a change.

Sorry for the lateness, I just wanted to pretend it was still the weekend for as long as possible.

There's an undercurrent of a narrative in the TX Democrat senate primary.

The black activists are outright calling Talarico racist for a few reasons (darkening Crockett's skin in an ad is the central thing).

And this is while white progressives are openly saying that it's time for the black caucus to stop having a veto in who wins the presidential primary.

Surely, driving away the white working class will reverse this trend.

Now, don't get me wrong. What this idiot said is indeed insulting and condescending, and if any white conservative said it they'd be run out of town. But what he actually said isn't as damning as the headline quotes.

92 There's an undercurrent of a narrative in the TX Democrat senate primary.

The black activists are outright calling Talarico racist for a few reasons (darkening Crockett's skin in an ad is the central thing).

And this is while white progressives are openly saying that it's time for the black caucus to stop having a veto in who wins the presidential primary.

Surely, driving away the white working class will reverse this trend.

93 Think about it. Before Obama was elected we were headed to a truly color blind society. That’s not just me saying it. Look at the statistics. The black population was making steady achievements on most fronts. 99% of the people didn’t give a fig about race, they cared about merit. If you could do the job, or pull the load that was the measure. Then white-liberals largely elected Obama based on guilt, not on merit. They looked past merit, twice, and went right for color- even though the warning signs were flashing red on bullshit. Meanwhile, Obama went back to increasing the divide between races. He deliberately made it an issue with his polices. In the end it wasn’t about race, it was about increasing the divide between us for his politics. This is all demonstrable. It’s where our current divisions started. At some point people should start again listening to what politicians say, not what they look like. Then perhaps we can begin decreasing that divide again, and step away from the deliberate attempt to undermine our unity.

=======

1. Primary numbers never, ever predict general election numbers. It's a relationship that should make sense, but it never actually turns out.

2. Senate races turn turnout into PVI of the state. PVI in TX (no party registration, so going off of previous elections) is something like R+10. No Democrat has a shot. The Biden years killed the D party in TX. Opening the border did that.

3. It's all about the black vote being excited about Crockett. That's it. There aren't nearly enough of them to overcome the PVI of the state in the general.

160 this mf would lose to jd vance. We want actionable reform and change! Best he can do is status quo milquetoast corporate garbage.

When pandering crosses into stereotype territory, the mask slips fast. They already are racist so it's more of them accidently slipping it out while they think they're slick.

He's completely bought by corporate interests and folds if he gets any pushback from fascists in person. He spent his time as governor watering down and vetoing good legislation. California could have had a public option in healthcare, but this asshole killed it.

My jaw cringes in the presence of rich, white people who have never seen a day of financial struggle in their entire racist life.

At least he said the quiet part out loud. Very, very loud. If you don't vote for me you ain't black v2.0. I'm not voting for Gavin Newsom.

bUt lEsSeR eViL!!! I used to joke that the Democrats would "lesser evil" themselves into a genocide and then they did.

You can hear part of Gavin Newsom's brain trying to abort but the rest of it just digging himself deeper instead. Please tell me he’s not actually running…right?

They had to run some elections again because of that.

Posted by: Supreme Gentleman at February 23, 2026 01:06 PM (5tro9)

Leftists tried to make it a thing to only capitalize Black (as a noun), and Rightists successfully used the "embrace and extend" technique to force capitalization of White as well. It was a quiet victory, that few noted. As long as a particular commentator is consistent about capitalizing either both or neither, he is doing his part.

They are lower risk, generally lower yield, but if you start a disciplined investing routine now and carry it out for say 30-40 years, you should have a substantial nest egg at the end.

I grew up in a rural state where when it was unfashionable, over 50 percent of vehicles sold were pickups. To me they are work trucks necessary for the bad roads and hauling stuff.

So I get bemused when pickups are now the luxury vehicles driven about the suburban landscapes on perfectly good pavement and with empty backends.

And far too many of those drivers have piss poor driving habits derived from learning to drive in much smaller cars or attempts to macho oneself while driving to intimidate other drivers into giving way.

395 Gavin Newsom co-founded the PlumpJack Group in 1992 - one of his investors was family friend Gordon P. Getty, the son of oil tycoon J. Paul Getty - building it into a portfolio of wineries, restaurants, and hotels, though he placed his ownership into a blind trust when he became governor to avoid conflicts of interest and is no longer involved in day-to-day operations.

But he can't read. BS.

And that's not what dyslexia is, the inability to read. "Dyslexia is not an absolute "inability" to read and write, but rather a neurobiological learning disability that causes significant difficulty with accurate or fluent word recognition, decoding, and spelling." Most learn to cope and work around; many are in gifted programs.

(I could not correctly read many Latin - or other language - words in school, sounding like I was kidding around in class.)

THE MORNING RANT: Musings on the Door Dash Lifestyle; Dave Barry Takes a Waymo Ride

I may not understand the “Door Dash Lifestyle,” and I certainly don’t live it, but it’s still fascinating to me. On the one hand I am horrified at the Door Dash business model and its use of illegal, off-the-books labor. At the same time, I am mystified at its customers’ spending habits, especially when we hear of the financial squeeze those same consumers are under in regards to housing, inflation, etc. From DoorDash’s own website, half of its customers have household income below $75,000 per year, and 33% of its customers are in households with income below $50,000.

So, today’s post has a few quick items related to the Door Dash / food delivery industry, including a little bit of humor. But first, here is a link to my initial Door Dash piece from three months ago titled “Behind the Restaurant Meal Delivery Industry, there is a Black Market Exploiting Illegal Foreign Labor.” In it I documented that, “If you are having restaurant food ‘dashed’ to your residence, there is a very good chance that the person delivering your meal is part of a black market of non-citizen labor, illegally subcontracted by the actual ‘independent contractor’ of Door Dash, Uber Eats, and the like.”

Meanwhile, a new revenue source other than food delivery has opened up for DoorDash drivers: “Waymo Is Paying DoorDash Gig Workers to Close its Robotaxi Doors” [CNBC – 02/12/2026]

Waymo’s cars are driven without humans. But when a departing passenger leaves a door open, the car won’t move until a person closes it. For that task, Waymo is turning to gig workers from companies like DoorDash.

The [Google]-owned self-driving car company confirmed on Thursday that it’s running a pilot in Atlanta to compensate delivery drivers for closing Waymo doors that are left ajar. DoorDash drivers are notified when a Waymo in the area has an open door so the vehicles can quickly get back on the road.

Chris Bakke sees a humorous way for DoorDash to lean in to this new revenue stream, stating that “If I ran growth at Doordash, I would pay Doordashers $5 to open doors on random Waymos so that Waymo has to hire our Dashers to close them for $6.25.” Per the Reddit post below, Waymo is actually paying DoorDashers $11.25 to close doors.


Irrespective of the door-closing opportunity, the demand for “dashed” food is growing: “DoorDash sees strong quarterly growth in sales and orders but warns of big costs” [Seattle Times – 2/18/2026]

DoorDash said Wednesday its revenue rose 38% in the fourth quarter as it gained new U.S. customers and added new services like restaurant reservations.

As inexplicable as it is to me why someone would want cold restaurant food delivered for twice the price of eating at the restaurant, or picking it up myself, I did read an explanation on “The DoorDash Lifestyle” from someone named “SightBringer” on Twitter/X that helps me see it in a different light:

The “DoorDash lifestyle” is an artifact of three massive structural shifts older generations don’t see because they didn’t grow up inside them. Let’s break the illusion.

1. The marginal cost of money changed for Gen Z. For older adults, spending thirty dollars feels like spending thirty dollars. For kids today, the psychological cost is closer to: “three microtransactions worth of friction.”

Because their financial environment is built on:
• Instant digital payments
• Low-commitment gig incomes
• Parents transferring money fluidly
• Side hustles paid in irregular small bursts
• Stimulus-era normalization of cash flow volatility.

Teenagers today often have:
• $30 now
• $0 tomorrow
• $50 on Friday
• $15 in crypto
• $70 in Cash App from someone they did homework for
• A $20 Venmo from grandma
• $60 from a weekend shift.

There is no “budget.” There is flow. And in a flow economy, a $30 DoorDash order is not a “luxury”. It is just another digital outflow in a stream of constant micro inflows.

2. Consumption is now social currency. Older generations spent money to solve problems. Gen Z spends money to signal identity, reduce friction, and avoid emotional drag.

DoorDash is not about food. It is about:
• Eliminating effort
• Eliminating planning
• Eliminating discomfort
• Eliminating logistics
• Eliminating decision fatigue

This generation pays premiums to remove negative psychic load. Food delivery is an anxiety-management subscription. And they learned this from:
• Amazon Prime
• Uber
• TikTok dopamine tuning
• Frictionless apps
• The collapse of effort-based value signals.

Convenience is the default baseline now.

3. The middle class collapsed, but lifestyle costs decoupled from income. This is the part most boomers and Gen X don’t understand. Kids aren’t behaving like they’re poor. They’re behaving like people living in a post-middle-class economy where:
• Ownership is dead
• Savings are pointless
• Buying a home is impossible
• College is a debt sentence
• Inflation destroys the dollar
• Wages do not map to adult milestones
• Upward mobility is gone

So what happens? They shift to a present-maximization mindset. If the future is unaffordable anyway, why not buy the burrito now? Younger people are not reckless. They are rational inside a broken incentive system. The real truth - DoorDash is a symptom.

A society where:
• Future stability is gone
• Wages stagnate
• Housing is unattainable
• Attention is fragmented
• Convenience is normalized
• Friction feels archaic
• Everything is mediated digitally
…will produce kids who treat $30 like a tap on a screen, not a financial decision. They’re not “funding a lifestyle.” They’re surviving inside the economy they were handed.

That is eye-opening and educational, although I don’t necessarily agree with everything stated here. When I got my first job after college in the late ‘80s, I also couldn’t fathom ever being able to buy a house, much less enjoying constant travel to destination weddings and bachelor parties as is common today. I imagined how much more lifestyle flexibility I’d have if I just made $100 more per month, which is about $300 in 2026 dollars. But neither was I serving a lifetime “college debt sentence.” (That is a brilliant phrase.) I was seeking to avoid debt, not resigning myself to a lifetime of suffocating debt inflicted by my alma mater.

Following that somber note, here is something related to today’s topic that is a little more light-hearted. Dave Barry wrote a recent piece at his Substack about his first Waymo experience:


I will reveal later whether or not I survived, but first let me give you a technical explanation of how these amazing futuristic machines work.

Each Waymo vehicle is equipped with 29 cameras as well as an array of laser, radar and audio sensors, which collect literally millions of data points per second and feed them to a sophisticated AI-controlled onboard computer, which is in constant, instantaneous contact via satellite with a 14-year-old boy somewhere in Asia — he goes by “Kevin” — who steers your car remotely with a joystick.

No, that’s probably not how it works. I have no idea how it works. I do not fully understand how toasters work. But however Waymo does it, it has to be a better system for operating vehicles than the one we currently employ in Miami, which involves using Miami drivers.

----------------

My point is that I, for one, welcome the arrival of Waymo’s self-driving cars. Even if they’re not perfect — even if there’s some “glitch” in their software that causes them, at random times, to deliberately aim at pedestrians or oncoming trucks — they would still be above-average drivers in Miami.

----------------

It worked its way through heavy traffic, negotiated some clogged narrow streets and got me efficiently to my destination without hitting anything. My only criticism is that it’s too polite for Miami. At one point, another car cut us off, and the Waymo merely braked to avoid a collision without making any effort to let the other motorist know that he was an idiot.

I’m a self-driving car skeptic. When Waymo hits my town, I have some mischievous ideas about summoning Waymo up the switchback mountain roads with blind, hairpin turns around Chattanooga. And if Waymo successfully gets me up and back down the mountain, I’m willing to cut a deal with DoorDash to let them close the door behind me.

They make stupid decisions and are apparently incapable of thinking ahead and deferring gratification. I have plenty of money, but don't remember ever using DD, because it's usually stupid.

Guess managing driverless cars is another job Americans won't are not given the opportunity to do!


Reminds me of the time, during Covid, that I had to schedule an infusion for may dad (6 hour process to get rid of it as soon as symptoms started). I called the scheduling center as directed by his GP, and it became obvious that I was dealing with someone out of state when her first suggestion was for a man on 24x7 oxygen to drive from Denver to Durango in icy, cold January for the 6 hour infusion the next day. See, these were just names on a map, and from her perspective it was no biggie, not a logistical nightmare . . .

16 The thing is, delivered food from Doordash online is no more cold and stupid than ordering a pizza in 1975 using the telephone. Its just a different front end with the same basic results: overpriced food handed to you at your door (or, after covid, left at the door).

The problems with this is that its too easy to overuse and bankrupt yourself with. But you and everyone else alive has days when they are too tired, sick, out of time, or just not in the mood to cook anything and go "heck with it, lets just order out." There are just more options now.

20 The problem with flow is that sometimes the flow dries up and there is nothing to tide things over.

I had lunch with a guy and his son, the son runs a mobile detailing business when he is not fighting wildfires. The kid did not have written contracts when he shows up, so we discussed what a contract would look like, especially things added to the bottom like, "if you stiff me or default on a payment, I will turn this over to a collection agency who will get 100% of what they dig out of you because I am that spiteful"

23 Most of the places in my area have stopped delivering and so you need door dash or the like if you want it delivered

But doordash is going to run 2X or more what delivery used to cost (and I'm doing this percentagewise because Bidenflation exploded food costs anyway)

Unless you are making a very high salary the math just doesn't work out - its better to spend the 20m driving to get it yourself.

56 The thing is, delivered food from Doordash online is no more cold and stupid than ordering a pizza in 1975 using the telephone. Its just a different front end with the same basic results: overpriced food handed to you at your door (or, after covid, left at the door).

The problems with this is that its too easy to overuse and bankrupt yourself with. But you and everyone else alive has days when they are too tired, sick, out of time, or just not in the mood to cook anything and go "heck with it, lets just order out." There are just more options now.

Obviously some food delivers better than others; pizza for example, but its not inherently stupid or bad.
Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at February 23, 2026 11:08 AM (PYyV9)

Pizza has been a "delivery" item since forever. And the delivery drivers were employees or contractors to the pizza joint. And got tips. And people did not routinely order pizza simply to eat it. Usually there was a party, or social occasion, and there was alcohol involved. Ordering in a pizza was a bit of a festive event.

I can relate to this. Finishing up a long day of work/activities and clicking a few buttons to have food from a favorite restaurant waiting for you the second you get home, with very little thinking/effort/planning required, is a stress avoider.

You're not wrong, but I wonder why the geniuses at Waymo didn't anticipate this and add a mechanism to their cars to close the doors after the passenger un-asses the vehicle. These are custom built vehicles, right? If you can make it drive itself, it doesn't seem like a great leap to add a soft close system to the doors, with appropriate safety precautions to avoid slamming them on arms and legs and fingers and feet.

Throw in the oven for 30m at 350

"DoorDash appears to be getting a boost from an unlikely group: baby boomers.

The delivery service topped Morning Consult's list of the fastest-growing brands of 2025, according to a report released on Tuesday. The polling firm asked consumers which brands they planned to purchase from and created a measure called "purchasing consideration."

Comparing data from the first quarter with the third quarter, Morning Consult found that consumers were planning to use DoorDash more than any other brand.

Don't give the credit to millennials or Gen Z diners ordering burritos, though: boomers demonstrated the biggest increase in intent to place an order through DoorDash, according to Consult's survey."

94 You're not wrong, but I wonder why the geniuses at Waymo didn't anticipate this and add a mechanism to their cars to close the doors after the passenger un-asses the vehicle. These are custom built vehicles, right? If you can make it drive itself, it doesn't seem like a great leap to add a soft close system to the doors, with appropriate safety precautions to avoid slamming them on arms and legs and fingers and feet.

No reason it couldn't be done. Many of the hunchbacks out there have self-closing lift gates on them. Could it be that people refuse to ride in a vehicle the doors of which are not under their exclusive control? Kind of reminiscent of the back seat of a cop car, maybe?

I don't make a high salary, but I figure my time is worth ? say $50/hr, and driving I figure a little under $1/mile for the vehicle. So "cost" for me to drive (17 miles) to town and back is around $60.

WalMart and Sams deliver, even alcohol, milk, and avocados ... so I can tip generously and still come out ahead (I have the yearly plans at Sams and Walmart for like $100/year each, but it gets me free delivery, right to my door)

But I've never used DoorDash, and I have a Dollar General just a mile from my place for some things. Plus it is good to get out of hermit mode once in a while.

Media Mock Gen Z For Rotisserie Chickens Because It’s Easier Than Addressing Real Problems

The younger set definitely has major gaps in financial skills and home economics. Many of them don't know how to cook, or shop. This is a major failing on the part of parents and the education system. However their lack of personal financial acumen isn't what has inflated the price of now-mandatory college education housing, caused runaway inflation, year-over-year wage stagnation, year-over-year housing inflation, and the whole rest of it. Sure there is deflection on both "sides" of the issue, but as the author points out it's a lot easier to scoffingly talk about Starbucks, DoorDash and avocado toast than discuss the disastrous domestic policies of the past 50 years or so (with all-too-brief interregna).

Costco delivery fees depend on the service used:
Same-Day (via Instacart) generally starts at $3.99 for orders over $35, while 2-Day delivery for non-perishables is free for orders over $75 and costs $3 per item for smaller orders. Note that item prices are higher online than in-store to cover service costs.

Key Considerations

Membership: Both services require a valid Costco membership.
Item Prices: Items are priced higher online to cover picking and packing costs.

This has been my experience with DoorDash and UberEats in my area. I started using it after forced work from home during COVID and then have used it over the last few years when getting together with friends for game nights.

I've never had cold food. There's no difference between picking up my food or having someone deliver it other than extra person handling my food. The time is the same. The major difference is the cost. Food is marked up on the sites + taxes/fees + tip. That's the major hit. You're paying for the convenience of not leaving your home.

The difference between this and pizza delivery is pizza delivery didn't markup their prices or add fees. It was same price as pick-up with only added tip.

170 DoorDash Corporate structure: In part, AI Overview:

(NYSE: DASH) utilizes a dual-class share structure that grants significant control to founders (holding ~70% voting power as of 2021) over institutional investors. Led by CEO Tony Xu, the company operates with a functional executive team, including a President/COO, CFO, and key leaders in Legal, People, and Engineering.

Key Aspects of Corporate Structure:
Leadership & Management: Tony Xu serves as Co-founder and CEO. The executive team includes Prabir Adarkar (President, COO), Ravi Inukonda (CFO), and Keith Yandell (Chief Business and Legal Officer).

Ownership Structure: While founders maintain voting control, over 50% of shares are held by institutional investors, with Sequoia Capital being a major shareholder.

(Much more.)

However, per the IRS: Gig workers (independent contractors) must pay both employer and employee portions of Social Security/Medicare taxes, totaling 15.3% on net earnings, plus income tax.

So who are the tax & immigration cheats?

Yes, every young person & family in my area utilizes it and similar companies almost constantly, now around the clock.

175 I use UberEats all the time, generally because my life can be very unpredictable and I'm not usually at home for long stretches. Doesn't make sense for me to keep a lot of perishables around, and a girl gets tired of eating MREs.

There's a strategy to the ordering though. I default to "reheat and eat" especially if there's anything fried in the order. It gets soggy fast, so a few minutes in the air fryer makes it better. But a lot of places have food that doesn't travel well, so it's something to keep in mind.

Me, I'm about the convenience. I don't like to eat at a restaurant alone. Most nights I don't feel like thinking about making food since I'm occupied with other things.

Posted by: Taylor at February 23, 2026 11:43 AM (odsWN)

176 Eh, in general, I cook my own food and prefer to.

And I'd prefer if when I didn't, the people who prepare and deliver my food, or carry out any other task I pay for are citizens. Not visa holders. Citizens. I want to look at it with awe and wonderment when I encounter a genuine foreigner who isn't just here to see Yellowstone.

Funny thing is they think they’re saving the erf by not polluting it with a car. Meanwhile the DoorDash driver has to drive a longer distance to get the food to them vs had they driven to the restaurant themselves.

Amazon sent me one of those - they have a policy of full refund. Just send a pic. Same for a milk dated same day - full refund.

Last few times, orders have been perfect. Apparently, I was helping the new service work out kinks.

It's limited (when they run out of drivers, they don't offer it anymore), but it's free for $25+ orders if you have Prime...and I've gotten some amazing deals with great fresh food from them.

You can't use it in emergencies (like snow), so it's truly for when it's not needed by most folks vs when it is. I think it's a way to keep their drivers fully FT when they don't have enough normal deliveries and a way to offload Whole Foods produce when they receive too much...

190 I know Dave Ramsey often gets mocked here, and I agree that his system isn't capable of dealing with every situation, but I believe following his general advice will result in a better long-term outcome for most young people than this kind of "Live for the moment" lifestyle.


He does have good basic financial advice. The problem is he's basically become a boomer meme in the flesh, acts like a high-handed cult leader, and has become increasingly out of touch the longer he's been around. He doesn't seem to comprehend inflation, at all, and acts like COLA adjustments are STEWPID even though not making them means you are now asking your people to functionally speaking make less working for you this year than they did the prior year. And that once the inflation "goes away" you have to take the raise back. So...yeah.

As for delivery prices, here's how it works.

When Uber Eats or Door Dash or whatever work with a place to deliver their food, they charge that business a fee. The restaurant raises the prices on delivery menu to make up this cost. Then, the delivery services raises the prices of the food on their app, and pocket the difference. Now, they aren't supposed to do this and have been busted doing it several times, but they still do because what the hell are you gonna do about it?

So getting your food delivered has three levels of expense tacked onto it: delivery fee, price raise by restaurant, price raise by delivery service.

So yeah, its hella expensive to order food delivered compared to eating at the place or picking it up yourself. I mean minus a few pennies in gasoline.

They exist, and planty of them. They're not going to look like "new" cars though, And you can plan on fixing them as the need arises. But if you know how to do the work yourself, it's not hard to keep up. Bonus: you own the car outright, there are no finance charge to pay, and likely your insurance will be cheaper.

Since 2021, Waymo has utilized a co-CEO model to balance technical innovation with commercial operations:
Dmitri Dolgov (Co-CEO): Primarily focuses on the technical development and deployment of the "Waymo Driver."

Income at or below 400% FPL qualifies individuals for premium tax credits that cap insurance costs as a percentage of income.
(FPL is based on household size and location. Alaska and Hawaii have higher FPL thresholds.)

244 I had my wife read Buck's essay, especially the "Door Dash Lifestyle" block. It describes our kids (who are really millennials and gen X ) to a T.

They're taught to be like this. Public school. If they're not raging leftists they're docile drones with zero ambition. And no clue about money.

Public school back in the day was all about conditioning you for life in the work-a-day world. Go someplace every weekday. Do this thing, or that thing while there. Eat lunch with your friends (co-workers) and then go home. Rince and repeat every weekday. For 18 years.

You get used to what a job entailed in the 70's and 80's.

276 There is no “budget.” There is flow. And in a flow economy, a $30 DoorDash order is not a “luxury”. It is just another digital outflow in a stream of constant micro inflows.
++++
BS. The perception may not be BS - this may be a reasonable explanation of "why" - but the reality is.

You have a hodge-podge of income and expenses rather than greater structure. Okay. But $30 is still $30, and still leaves your pocket. Having an inconsistent income stream does not mean you can't budget. If anything, it means you should budget *more* aggressively than someone who gets the same amount of money twice a month. And on better months (or days, or hours), you can add to your savings for when there's a worse month (or day, or hour).

312 t is my experience that really fine dining does not deliver well at all. Chinese (thai, etc) and Pizza does, fast food is... well you know what its like when you pick up some burgers and bring them home. Italian food other than pizza doesn't deliver very well either.

Not to mention that there's no point. "Fine dining" isn't about the food. The food is only a part of it. It's about the food, and the atmosphere, and the service. What's the point of "fine dining" to go?

363 A few notes on Door Dash Nation, from someone trapped there.

My case is probably atypical. Without proper steady housing, I can't really cook, and with mobility issues I've been dealing with grocery shopping is physically a problem. The result is a paradox: The cheaper solution to food--a monthly Aldi run and cook my own--is locked out by my circumstances, forcing me to the more expensive option due to my lack of means. It's all ass-backwards and drives me nuts.

Even if I could cook (and I have plans to try to get into a situation where I can) I would probably still use it for grocery delivery, which would still be a markup but even so much less expensive.

That one article has a significant over-arching point: The topsy-turvy economic situation, which bears little or no resemblance to the one I knew just 25 years ago, is creating a bizarre jumble of mismatched, contradictory, and just plain broken incentives. For a great many people the ladders are pulled up, there's no advancement, just survival...and I'm one of them right now.

365 I use GrubHub because I don't drive. I never had. I'd have to take a cab or Uber anyway to pick up, so it's cheaper to have it delivered. GrubHub is convenient to have all the food places to choose from on one website. Businesses don't need to hire their own deliverers, though some still do instead of using GrubHub to deliver. While service cost is annoying, the $$ is in the food itself. Some places have raised their prices to the point I don't buy from there anymore. I also caught a Wendy's charging me more because I used GrubHub than if I had gone to the restaurant, so I quit ordering from there when I'm in the mood for fast food. I can still get good food at a reasonable price. I only do it on weekends when supermarket food for the week has run out. I count it as a treat.

369 I'm not going to criticize anyone's food delivery driven by the pure hassle of getting out: homebound, sick, tending small kids, car in the shop, snowed in, etc. If you can cook, it's better to order groceries for home delivery. But even if you can't cook worth a darn, it is easier than ever to buy decent pre-prepared meals for reheating at home.

What I can't rationalize is how ordering drive-thru fast food slop at quadruple the price, unless you're in the homebound category, can ever be anything other than stupid and lazy.

Posted by: Tracy at February 23, 2026 03:44 PM (5QLhQ)

376 Part of the switch to DoorDash and such is that restaurants saw the chance to cut down on their employees and outsource delivery. Very few places here have their own delivery drivers anymore.

We ordered Olive Garden this weekend - we were both sick and didn't want to go out and infect others and I really wanted potato soup. So, go to Olive Garden's website, select delivery, and come up with what we wanted and ordered it. (I blame the cold for ordering 24 breadsticks. But we always want more of them, so....) It was only after you ordered they told you Uber would be delivering the food. I didn't go through any other website, so it felt like Olive Garden itself delivered.

But I try to never again use DoorDash or any other after the one delivery woman got out of her car... and her car promptly ran into our garage door. Uphill, mind you.

84 Obviously she is a very talented artist. The skin tones, the brilliant points of color in the pitcher and the leaves, even the texture of the hair and rock all blend to make a coherent look. The ruby depth of the pitcher is especially eye catching. She was born in Virginia and the background reminded me of the Blue Ridge. The choice of the title is interesting. It is so ambiguous it compels the viewer to wonder about it and speculate, looking for the artist's thoughts or, more importantly, their own.

I'm impressed that someone so young could do this. I would definitely hang it. Now to look for her other works.

OK, to you she does not look like Heaven - just a nekkid babe on the rocks. However, considering that this was painted by a woman, and women are known to insert themselves into their entertainment (e.g., boys play with a superman toy and want to be more like superman, girls want superman to be more like them), maybe the artist imagines that she is the nude girl on the rock peering down onto a Heaven that's not in our view?

Takes me back to my Art 100 course in college. (Art for Physics Majors.) We all too briefly had a nude model who looked much like this. I did not paint her this well.

We also, memorably, had a model who was more like the naked fat guy on the ottoman, largish gal who had obviously lost many pounds so she was all folds of flesh. Not as attractive, but more texture to try to depict.

Good day, y'all.

161 Wow, I found an interview with the painter and she's kind of based:

Dana explained, "There is a terrible frustration when studying at most art schools or in a university art department because you are not being taught basic drawing skills which are the foundation of any kind of representational art. Its as if two-dimensional representational art no longer has a place there. Students who are interested in becoming a realist artists are left out of the system and graduate without the skills necessary to begin a career as an artist. College is a great financial expense and one should graduate with some skills to earn a living. There are specific standards in classical or academic art by which to create and judge the quality of work. These skills are taught not in traditional colleges and universities, but in ateliers. Modern art, which is the focus of most BFA and MFA programs is subjective and this makes it difficult to set standards."

Newsom Tells Black Audience He's Just Like Them Because He Has a Mental Disorder

Deny all you like, but yes, as Chad Prather explained, "Gavin Newsom told a black audience that he’s just like them because of his low SAT scores and inability to read."

Newsom made his "I'm like you... I'm a 960 SAT guy" comments during a book tour stop in Atlanta on Sunday while promoting his memoir, Young Man in a Hurry. In too much of a hurry to stop and consider comparing his mediocre SAT score — which was due to dyslexia — to a largely black audience.

"His way of bonding with black people is to tell them how stupid he is & that he can’t read," entertainer Nikki Minaj said. "This means my first read on him was correct. He’s been handed so many things & put in high positions he never earned or deserved."

She went on: "Do you wanna know the craziest part of this footage that will haunt him forever? He’s literally slowing his speech down & talking in a sporadic cadence."

The problem with having only a small plow when living in a high snow environment is eventually the banks get so high that plowing new snowfall doesn't do anything except narrow your driveway over the course of a normal winter.

I learned this while living in Michigan and having the plow attachment for my John Deere lawn and garden tractor.

Had to invest in a 2-stage snow blower (Yard Machines) to get that newly fallen snow up and over the banks lining the driveway.

"... each of us makes our own weather..."

"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think, say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play the one string we have, and that is our attitude... I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it.

And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes”

Dana Levin

Very good advice. I will add, based on my experiences over the years, unless you have a very large area to clear, buy the smallest two-stage machine you can find. You definitely want two-stages for better clearing, but a larger machine is a pain to maneuver and store. A smaller two-stage is quite adequate for the average suburban driveway and sidewalk.

204 Up here in Maine we're not getting a whole lot of snow, but it sure is pretty windy on the ocean. I'm a bit south of Portland and so far the max gust from my rooftop weather station, 300' from the ocean says 41.2mph and the worst has yet to arrive supposedly.

I'm beginning to think that my weather station's "max" wind reading is right around 40mph though. There's been times when I could see my triple paned windows flex from the wind force and the weather station is like "ho humm 40mph".

I'm pretty happy though that the perch/mount I made for it has lasted a solid 5 years without disintegrating.

213 >>A smaller two-stage is quite adequate for the average suburban driveway and sidewalk.

I've got a husqvarna 27" 2-stage snowblower. It's the only thing that makes living in Maine bearable. I actually enjoy snowblowing - any machine that is designed to pick up something and throw it 50' in any direction is a lot of fun.

The only thing I wish my snowblower had was a chute that could aim slightly behind me - it would allow me to put the snow in the perfect location since there's always that moment when you get to the end of the driveway where the snowplow bank is and you end up shooting it back into the road - which then you need to go clean up.

Posted by: Defenestratus at February 23, 2026 10:42 AM (WYStd)

214 Very good advice. I will add, based on my experiences over the years, unless you have a very large area to clear, buy the smallest two-stage machine you can find. You definitely want two-stages for better clearing, but a larger machine is a pain to maneuver and store. A smaller two-stage is quite adequate for the average suburban driveway and sidewalk.

People instinctively go for “bigger is better” but in this case less is more. You definitely want two stage, but a 22 or 24 inch is all you need. No need for those monsters.

If you have a large area to clear, a bigger machine gets it done faster. And you have more room to maneuver it. Realistically, with the necessary overlapping passes, a 27" machine clears about 24" each pass, anyway.

My Big Ass Arien™ chute can pretty much be rotated to nearly reach that angle. Throwing that snow 50 feet or more is pretty cool. Doesn't take long to clear the 60 foot driveway. On a hill, no less. I replaced both drive belts, traction and auger, last fall. Just in case. Have extra shear bolts as well as two spare belts.

Yup...100% in agreement.

I bought a bigger machine to replace my old Ariens because I like to help out my neighbors, and we tend to get heavy snow. But it is definitely more of a pain in the ass to maneuver around.

The upside is that it is fuel injected, so I don't really have to worry about the fuel as much. And damn! it can throw the snow a long, long way!

Humidity with snow is a thing and it sucks bigly. The snow that causes heart attacks when shoveled is heavy because of the high water content which is due to humidity in the air when it snows. The light fluffy stuff falls when the air is dry. You can clear that with a lead blower.

The Morning Report — 2/23/26

Noose-EmCold.jpg

Good morning kids. Well, as a major Nor'easter is set to pummel the east coast with a massive winter storm, the likes of which we've not had in years, NYC's Muz-unist mayor Mamdani has an opportunity to solve the city's homeless crisis by moving all of them to the middle of the Central Park lake, and providing each with a sheet of used toilet paper, i.e. the front page of the NY Times and voila, no more homeless faster than you can say Gulag Archipelago! In all seriousness, if you are in the path of the storm, please stay safe at home, stock up on food and other essentials ahead of time and and stay off the roads if at all possible.

And speaking of bomb cyclnes, a real killer-diller has erupted south of the border. . .

Americans are being asked by the State Department to remain sheltered in place in parts of Mexico due to civil unrest following the successful killing of Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio “El Mencho” Oseguera Cervantes on Sunday.

Cervantes was killed by the Mexican army with “complementary information” provided by the United States, The Daily Wire reported.

The State Department’s travel alert specifically notes that Americans in the Mexican states of Jalisco, Baja California, Guanajuato, Guerrero, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas and Quintana Roo State “should shelter in place until further notice.” The states contain major tourism hubs such as Puerto Vallarta, Guadalajara, Cancún, as well as Playa del Carmen and Tulum, among other major cities. “Due to ongoing, widespread security operations and related road blockages and criminal activity in many areas of Mexico, U.S. citizens should shelter in place until further notice,” the U.S. Department of State Consular Affairs posted to X on Sunday afternoon.

¡Hay chihuahua! Literally.

And elsewhere in the world, with Iran on the brink internally, there is still the potential that President Trump might order airstrikes or other military operations against the Iranian regime to help bring about its long overdue demise. The question of should we or shouldn't we and the consequences domestically and internationally, both long- and short-term are of course debatable.

With that said, despite making some cogent points that I happen to agree with, the author gets otherwise completely lost in a sea of isolationist idiocy.

The United States government (USG) should not go to war with Iran. Iran’s nuclear program is not a meaningful threat to the United States. How Iran is governed, how its government treats its people, and who the Iranians trade with is none of our business.

A genuinely America First strategy toward Iran would mean ignoring the country and the Middle East as a whole. The United States government has no core interests on the Asian landmass.

The USG should lift all trade sanctions on the Iranian regime, grant diplomatic recognition to whatever regime is currently in power there, and cease efforts to regulate or manage the Iranian nuclear program. Iran’s conflicts with Israel and the Arab states are not our problem.

Regarding the Middle East more broadly, the USG should shut down all of our bases and cut off all flows of foreign aid to the region. I mean this literally: no military aid to the Israelis, Jordanians, Egyptians, etc., and no humanitarian aid to the Palestinians. American officials should avoid giving any sign of favoritism to any nation, people group, or religious minority in the area.

The abject cluelessness as to the nature of the Iranian regime post the Shah and its driving force, ISLAM, for the past 1,500 years is absolutely radiant. The Jordanians, Egyptians and so-called "Palestinians" are one thing to be sure. But Israel, not only our one true ally in the region but aside from us the one remaining keeper of the flame of Western civilization and the advancement of humanity left in the world. Yes, whatever money in the form of aid that goes to Israel should be regulated and accounted for and dispensed responsibly, but the dividends to our national security are well-known and manifold as history has proven. The record is clear on that.

And as I and CBD have made clear on many a recent podcast (the latest episode linked here and in the sidebar as well as available on the usual outlets listed below). it is clearly up to the Iranian/Persian people to take matters into their own hands and take the lead in deposing their oppressors. If the US can help in that goal minus troops on the ground or the failed democracy projects of the past then we should be as minimally involved as we can. And no we should not recognize another Islamo-fascistic government should it God-forbid come to power.


Shifting gears completely, we have the Supreme Court striking down President Trump's tariff regime in a blatantly political decision. Legal eagle extraordinaire Alan Dershowitz noted:

“I thought that the lawyers for Trump made the wrong argument to the Supreme Court, and I predicted they were going to lose based on their argument. Look, if you argue that it’s fundraising activity by Congress, of course you’re going to lose,” Dershowitz said. “This, the Article One of the Constitution, says that duties and taxes can be imposed only by Congress, and Congress can delegate that authority to the president.”

“But if you argue that tariffs can be a weapon of foreign policy, a weapon of diplomacy, a weapon of preventing war, then it’s an Article II power of the president, and Congress has no power to limit it. And so I think what the president has said in his press conferences today is that we may have gone under the wrong statute, and maybe we have no power under that statute,” Dershowitz added. “But I want to prevent a war with Iran, and so I’m going to impose a very very steep sanction on Iran, not to raise money but to stop a war. I’m gonna have a big, big, big tariff on, who knows, in order to make sure that they comply with the foreign policy of the United States. Turn this into an Article II, not an Article I, function.”

Dershowitz said the president could still use tariffs as a foreign policy tool, within constitutional limits.

Funny how Roberts could rewrite the Obamacare individual mandate and declare it kosher, but is otherwise ignorant of Dershowitz's salient point regarding the wrong argument and take his red pen to make Trump's tariffs kosher too. Heaven forfend.

Bastard.

Lastly, congratulations to the US olympic hockey team for winning the gold medal in what by all accounts was a thrilling match against Canada. Not a fan of hockey in the first place and for sure I have not been interested in the Olympics perhaps since I was a kid.

7 Mexico has much the same problem as Lebanon - the criminal gangs in the country are actually much more numerous, and better armed, than the actual government is.

8 No boots on the ground vs the continued terrorist supporting state of i-ran.

Yes, having hezbollah, hamas, houthis, and the fakestinians continued worldwide reign of terror is much better than any boots on the ground.

After all, they really haven't killed that many people have they. Whats a few hundred or thousand more?

10 Records reviewed by Breitbart Texas reveal that Jason Houser — who has labeled Trump’s immigration policies “racist” — and Troy Miller — who, as Biden’s Acting CBP Commissioner, often amplified Biden’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas’ claims that the Biden-era border was closed to irregular migration — joined a Tuesday meeting with senior Trump administration CBP officials to discuss NTC changes.

12 The French FM has called our ambassador on the carpet for saying that frog got stomped by Commies. Apparently, even mentioning the facts of the case is "interference."

I'm fine with not interfering. Like a lot of people, I've long been clamoring for us to get out of NATO & the UN, but that's not enough. We should recall our Western European ambassadors and sever diplomatic relations with these countries, and embargo them. Let them sell their ever-shrinking economic output to the Chinese.

For one thing, they hate us and constantly thumb us in the eye. For another, they're worthless countries and we don't have any use for them except as an increasingly problematic customer. For a third, they are too weak in every dimension to do a damn thing about it if we freeze them out. And finally, they're dying. These countries will have Arabic names soon enough.

Cut 'em adrift. America doesn't need this bullshit.

Media Mock Gen Z For Rotisserie Chickens Because It’s Easier Than Addressing Real Problems

The article shows the media headline as "Gen-Z is splurging on rotisserie chickens". Um, what?

As it states in the community notes of the X post, rotisserie chickens are actually cheaper than regular chicken and have numerous uses for recipes, including meal prep recipes. They are extremely budget friendly and very efficient for making quick dinners.

Media once again shows they are completely disconnected from the real world. They probably don't cook their own meals and just DoorDash or eat out all the time. Which is MUCH more expensive than cooking your own meals, including with rotisserie chicken.

IMO, yeah, it kind of is. Because in 1979 our President stood by while the Shah was exiled and Khomeini began his reign of terror. We have now a generational chance to correct that mistake. Let's hit 'em all, now, while we got the muscle. Let us kill their leaders and destroy their war machines. Give material aid to the Iranian people any way we can. We can and should do this.

36 I think that if Iran was left to its own devices it would have ignited WWIII by now.

By geographical happenstance they're poised to control the flow of petrochemicals to a vast majority of the world, including the US. That's of national interest to us.

The ideological beef with Israel is something of a sideshow. But, like I said, if left alone, Iran would have, or would be, a real problem. And the mullahs have been able to keep things going through shear terror for nearly half a century.

92 I pray the President can find some way to get what he wants in Iran to happen without having to use our military to get it.

I pray that Trump listens to Marco Rubio's Berlin Security Council Speech.

Marco specifically pointed out the difficulty in asking men to fight and die for something other than their own home and culture.

Iran is not my culture, will never be my culture and is not and will not be my home.

In the meantime, Islam is marching across the US conquering and dominating and despite the history of Islam Trump completely and totally ignores the damage that it is doing and does exactly nothing to even slow its pace.

So how do you get a military to fight and die for a country full of people who hate you and want you to submit or die?

If dems were smart, and they are not, they will say Trump = bad economy.

If repubs were smart, and they are not, they will say Trump = good economy.

The next level arguments favor repubs. People care about gender politics, immigration, etc. They do not care about 'threats to democracy' ™.

And because dems need their wooby, I believe, that repubs will do ok.

The issues actually favor repubs so they just need to turn out their voters.

This is just plain wrong. She totally failed to enunciate "Strategic Ambiguity," but a lot of us here wouldn't be able to, either. It is the official position of the United States when pressed on Taiwan. Most find it an extremely frustrating and unhelpful excuse for a policy, but she didn't say that.

If she had come out strongly for either defending the island or endorsing the takeover, she'd have violated several protocols.
Not defending her being there: no congressman belongs there.
She's not read-in to the issue, and is not on the committee. Not smart enough to say "No comment," the correct answer.

It's the kind of screed that AI would write if fed only a diet of Daily Kos, DU and Reddit.

*except for, you know, the administrative warrant that attached to every person the moment they are illegally in the US.
** he knows damned good and well that only applies to trials, of criminals, not arrests and not even immigration arrests. Where the "accuser" is the United States of America who says Juan has no papers to be here.

Don Lemon is mad that FBI Director Kash Patel went to the Olympics in Italy to celebrate with Team USA, who just won gold in ice hockey.

Lemon says the Trump administration has no class.

Trump has brought elegance back to the White House. He’s brought beauty and safety back to DC.

What has Lemon done? He’s raided a church and harassed praying children. It doesn’t get more low-class than that.

Yep. Iran is not a threat to us. The Muslim hordes who have come here over the past 24+ years since 09/11/2001 and have conquered areas all across the United States -- just as they have done in Canada, the UK and Europe -- are the ongoing threat.

Short of deporting every last Muslim and banning all immigration from Muslim countries, the United States will continue on the path to becoming conquered like Canada, UK and Europe.

Muslims have made very large increases in Texas and Florida, supposed strong red states. And we've already seen they have Minnesota, Michigan and NYC. And Muslims have positions of power in government, media, schools, school boards, etc. This is how it started in Europe. It only gets worse.

Coming sooner than later: Every pro and big-time college football team will build stadiums and play 'home' games in several low-tax flyover states, along with Florida and Texas. Fat-cat fans and corporation big-wigs will easily afford private flights to the 'home' games. Semi-wealthy fans will be able to afford commercial flights and hotel rooms. Or charter flights and group hotel rates the teams will schedule. Home fans earning $300K or so may be able to afford one or two 'home' games per year. Everyone else can watch 'home' games on TV.

Guess I just don't care for the outrage cycle right now, they have worn it out with everything else - "Two scoops of ice cream!" "Melania wouldn't hold his hand!" blah blah blah. It was a celebratory moment that should not have been filmed.

261 Good morning, all, and thanks, J.J.

Also on BB, 'Mike Tirico Praised for Olympics Monologue Celebrating How Sports Brings Our Country Together.' Sweet and refreshing.

From above, 'In Tennessee, Gavin Newsom Sprints To The Far-Left' Disgusting, playing to a crowd he clearly thinks are idiots. And the article, 'Newsom to Black People: “I’m Like You. I’m a 960 SAT Guy.” What a racist SOB! But just wait for O's response, whether soon or many months from now. It will come. 👏

Btw, ,,, "obtain your California birth certificate online via VitalChek, in person at the county recorder’s office where you were born, or by mail."

Gov. Josh Shapiro says Pennsylvania is preparing for a potential ICE surge: “We do not want that kind of chaos in our communities in Pennsylvania, so don't come. But if you come, we are prepared to address it.”

The bear keeps getting poked in SEPA.

Josh & his family remain untouched in life thanks to elaborate security and private schools.

>90.5 WESA, Feb. 23, 2026, Treasury officials question whether taxpayers can legally pay for security upgrades at Shapiro's family home.

Josh and Gavin are narcissists.

264 Muslims have made very large increases in Texas and Florida, supposed strong red states. And we've already seen they have Minnesota, Michigan and NYC. And Muslims have positions of power in government, media, schools, school boards, etc. This is how it started in Europe. It only gets worse.

Posted by: Clyde Shelton at February 23, 2026 09:15 AM

This recalls the insane bipolarism of Bush and his acolyte Karen Hughes, i.e., on one hand waging a cumbersome war against Islam thousands of miles away while insisting it was a religion of peace and our domestic cuddle-buddies.

Posted by: Ordinary American at February 23, 2026 09:20 AM

Yep. Bush surrendered the war with Islam without even fighting it. In fact, he added fuel to the fire Muslims already had to wage war on the West and made things doubly worse in every Western nation.

Not only did western leaders send men and women to die in Muslims nations for nothing, but they imported the enemy in the tens of millions to invade every Western nation and aid in conquering them.

There are no words strong enough for the clusterfuck over the past 20+ years with regards to the West surrendering to Islam.

265 Iran is a clear and present danger to us, whether it is in the middle east or if it were on our border because they have already developed ballistic missiles and will eventually try and nuke the USA. Better to deal with it now.

If you're going to play the Generation Sweepstakes -- and it is, after all, for the biggest fools at the table -- at least get the cutoffs right.
